How do I get my child a card?
Just fill out the application for the child, making sure to sign in the area designated for “parent or guardian.” Children can have their own cards at any age--this is up to the parent! Even if a child is not yet reading, he or she will benefit from just looking at books and being read to by an adult or older child.

How do I access eBooks and eAudios?
We offer OverDrive, with hundreds of selections. When you search our catalog, books that are available for download will show the call number “ONLINE.” Click for more information.

How do I have something notarized?
Bring your picture ID and the unsigned document(s) that need notarization to the Library during our regular business hours on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays. Tuesdays and Fridays there will not be a notary available due to programming. Call ahead and make sure the Notary is available to help you. If your document requires witnesses, bring someone with you. Notary fees are $10.00 per stamp, first signature, and $5.00 each additional. Click here for more information.
