Can I bring coffee with me into the library?

You can bring covered drinks and light snacks. We do have a Keurig with a variety of coffees and teas. We ask that you be careful with food and drink around the library books and computers and please throw away your trash.

How does the library decide what to add to the collection?

Our librarians routinely check reviews in professional magazines such as BookList and Video Librarian. We also check other review sources such as the NYTimes Book Review and reviews that appear in other popular magazines.  We love to get suggestions from patrons and will add titles whenever possible after checking for reviews and all of the other criteria specified in our Development Collection Policy.

Do you buy books or is everything donated?

Just about everything that you’ll find on our shelves has been purchased. We try to find the best discount available, purchasing from our jobber (Baker & Taylor), direct from the publisher or from other appropriate sources.

Will you buy something for your collection if I recommend it?

We take your recommendations very seriously and when we receive a request we assess the value to the collection, taking into account cost, format, availability elsewhere and general appropriateness for addition to the collection. If past history is an indicator however, we have usually been able to accommodate most requests.

Can I volunteer at the library?

We love having volunteers at the library, however we suspended the volunteer program during COVID. We are slowly integrating volunteers again. Contact us for details.  The Friends of the Library looks for student and adult volunteers when holding their book sales which is usually twice a year.
