The children's collection includes picture books, early readers, fiction chapter books, and popular mysteries. In juvenile nonfiction are biographies and nature and science books. A young adult section features many popular authors. Ongoing programs include a weekly story hour during the school year for young children, and a book club in the summer for
all ages.

Our limited space precludes a reference section, but we can help with some requests.

Below are adult books added to the collection this year:
