Frequently Asked Questions

In order to use one of the computers at the library, you need to provide your library card number or a valid ID to the circulation desk.

Libby is everything you need for digital materials! Thousands of titles are available via Libby, including eBooks and audio books. All you need to login to the Libby app or website is your library card number to get started. Your Libby password will be the phone number you provided the library with on your library card application (do not include dashes in the password). Download the Libby app and start exploring!

Please note:

 Holds/reserves placed on eBooks and audio books on Libby are NOT a way to place a reserve on a physical title at the Library. Libby is for digital titles ONLY. 

The library is unable to check the status of your place in line on Libby holds/reserves. You can check your place in line for Libby reserves on your Libby account. 

Yes! If you think the Library should have a certain book in the collection, you can fill out a request form from the front desk and turn it in to be considered. If you would like to borrow a book from a different library that our Library does not carry, you can fill out an Inter library loan request (ILL). If a library within our consortium has it, we can request it from them. You are responsible for covering the cost of shipping (usually $3.00).

Yes! In fact, you can do much more than just print. You can make copies, send out faxes, and scan items using our machine.

Printing is $0.10 for black and white, $0.20 for color per page, and faxes are $0.25 for local numbers and $0.50 for long distance numbers per page (not including cover sheets).
