Adult Fiction and Non-Fiction
The library has about 50,000 volumes and the collection is built around
the interests of the community and a wide variety of review
sources. Almost
all of our books are searchable in our catalog. If you have
any difficulty
locating a book, please see the library staff for assistance. If there
is a book that you do not find on the shelf or in our
collection, please
ask about ILL and hold services.
Books on Tape (and now also on
CD!)
The Library has available for circulation a wide variety of books on tape
and CD. You can search the catalog
for audio books. Once you search by title, author, keyword, or subject,
use the blue Limit This Search button or the Modify Search button to restrict
results by material type. Choose either Spoken (Tape) or Spoken (CD) to
sort results and bring back only audio books. Confused? Ask the
reference librarian.
CD-ROMS
CD-ROMS are available for circulation. In this collection,
you will find
games and educational software for all age groups. CD-ROMS
circulate for
three weeks. View
a chronological listing of CD-ROMS in the library. If you would rather view
CD-ROMS about a subject or with a favorite character, use the new keyword
search. You can limit results by Material Type to SOFTWARE and retrieve only CD-ROM results.
Large Print Books
Large print fiction and non-fiction titles are located on the shelves
behind new fiction titles. These items can be searched in the catalog
using the search limit of Large Print once you have your initial search
results.
Music CDs
The Library maintains a large collection of music CD's which are arranged
by musical category and artist. To search for a favorite band, composer,
or performer, use the author search. New
Fiction and Non-Fiction
All new books purchased within the last year are placed on the shelves
to the left of the circulation desk. If the book you were looking for
is out, you can reserve it.
Newspapers
Daily newspapers do not circulate, but are available in the lounge area
under the main window. Past issues are kept for approximately
one month.
To search for articles that appeared in the Republican, use
the database
Newsbank to retrieve and print articles.
Paperback Fiction
Paperbacks are now located in the large meeting room in the back right
corner and
can be distinguished by the blue author labels on the spine
of the book.
Videocassettes (New
Video List)
Videocassettes are organized by film classification and title. Please
refer to the classification key located on the wall by the video cases
to determine which sections are shelved in a particular area. Use the catalog
to search for movies by title, favorite actor, or subject.
DVDs
The loan period and fine schedule is the same as for VHS. The Recent
DVD Acquisitions List offers the newest titles available for loan.
