Please wear your mask properly and only touch what you take home. Library volunteers will protect you by wearing a mask and lending you clean materials. Protect your volunteering neighbors by wearing your mask properly and maintaining a 6’ or more physical distance.

Donate during curbside hours. We can accept clean books and DVDs. Please put your name on the box or bag. Limit one medium box per household per week. All donations and returns will be held in quarantine for at least three days and disinfected prior to lending. Start now by virtually browsing for books and DVDs online.
