What can I borrow?



Permanent members may borrow the following:

- Up to eight (8) books/audio books for four (4) weeks;

- One (1) music CD for one (1) week;

- Three (3) DVD's for one (1) week; and

- Two (2) magazines for one (1) week.

When was the last time you read a good book?



With studies showing that we should be away from screens for 30 minutes before bed, and that reading can improve your sleep, it's worth getting back into books.


And if you need an extra incentive, 85 percent of self-made millionaires read two or more books per month!



Tired of reading the kids the same books?



The library has a wide range of picture books available to start even the youngest in your family on their reading journey.



More for the kids



When it's too hot to go to the park, the library is a great alternative for entertaining kids.


There's lego, a gaming console, toy area and of course, lots of books to read.



Newspapers and magazines



Recent copies of magazines and newspapers are available read at the library.



Junior readers



Encourage a lifelong love of reading by finding a book that your kids and early readers actually want to read.


With popular authors like Ahn Do and R. L. Stine (author of the Goosebumps series) there is sure to be something they're interested in.



Access to the internet and printers



Members of the Library are able to use the computers and access the internet free of charge (internet use policy applies). Printers are also available for a small fee. Note: Users under 18 years must be accompanied by an adult.



Can't get to the library in person?



Disabled or housebound residents may have loan material (books/audio books) delivered to their homes by arrangement with the Library Administrator.
