This year’s National Library Week theme of “Ready, Set, Library!” invites everyone in the community to visit the library and explore all the library has to offer.

A wide variety of books, movies, magazines, and music is available to borrow from the library. Library cardholders can also download and enjoy digital content such as e-books and e-audiobooks and digital movies and music on their personal smartphone, tablet, or eReader at no cost through dedicated apps or through the library website. The library also provides a variety of online resources to support students, job seekers, and small businesses. Online learning platforms accessible through the library website feature thousands of videos and tutorials covering topics such as computers and software; adult learning; homework resources; business and marketing; genealogy research; health and consumer information; and much more.

Internet-accessible computers are available for public use at the library, and free Wi-Fi access, scanning, and outgoing FAXing are also available.

First sponsored in 1958, National Library Week is a national observance sponsored by the American Library Association and libraries of all types across the country each April.
