Books, Movies, and More

Our Adult Room has a large and growing collection of both fiction and non-fiction. Our fiction collection is divided into General Fiction, Mystery, Romance, Western, Science Fiction/Fantasy, and Large Print sections.
The Children’s Room’s books are divided by age and reading levels. We currently have thousands of books, including board books, picture books, juvenile readers (for those learning to read), chapter books, intermediate fiction, popular series, and a large non-fiction section that is especially helpful for school assignments.

The Library’s Adult Room has a collection of over 4,500 DVDs, which grow monthly with new releases and additions of old favorites.
This collection includes feature films, documentaries, exercise and health videos, as well as season sets of your favorite television series on DVD. We also have a small, but growing, collection of movies on Blu-Ray.
Be sure to participate in our “Vote to Add TV on DVD” program downstairs in the Adult Room. Every day you visit, you can vote for your favorite television series. The votes are counted each month, with a season of the winning series added to the collection.
Our Children’s Room has over 1,000 DVDs, including family and kid-friendly feature films, television series sets, and educational videos for children.
Our DVDs check out for one week, with a maximum of 10 DVDs per patron, and a limit of 2 new releases, at a time. Our Blu-Rays check out for one week, with a maximum of 2 at a time, and they do count toward your DVD total.

The Children’s Room also has a growing collection of books on CD from popular authors, for ages 12 and under.
