STATE OF THE ART FACILITIES

Computer Stations & iPads– Allowing public access to the web & Microsoft programs
Innovation Lab – Investing in technology training for our youth community members
eBooks & Audiobooks – Providing our members with 24/7 access to a variety of subjects

These are just a few ways in which our library is embracing our role as a community hub that empowers its residents to be both active learners and creators.
