About Us
As a member of the VALNet system our district is able to provide patrons access to the library materials from more than 50 libraries in our region. If a patron wants a book housed in another library, our excellent courier service means we can get books to patrons quickly, typically within a few days of the request. We provide access to large collections of nonfiction and popular fiction for readers of all ages. Rotating collections of videos and DVDs, audio cassettes and CDs, story time kits, and large type books are available at each branch as well.
Our branches have internet access computers available on a first come, first serve basis. To offer this popular service to as many patrons as possible, time limits apply.
In addition to getting help at the circulation desk in finding books, patrons can access the VALNet system catalog on line. There they can locate and request books, renew books and view their accounts. The new “Book Bag” feature also allows patrons to keep a list of books they want to request at a later time.
Each community in our district is unique. Different programs and activities for adults, youth, and young children are held at various branches. These may include reading programs and clubs, movie night, musical performances, classes, visiting speakers, traveling displays, and book sales, to name a few. Some are ongoing, others are one-time events, so check our site often for current information.
