We had to shift some of our children’s and young adult collections out of the way of progress. If you’re looking for young adult manga, or children’s DVDs, or really anything else you can't find, ask the librarian at the desk for help!
Our wireless internet is on even when we're closed, and it reaches outside the building! Hang out in the car, or in Patrons Park, and you'll pull a signal from WBCMLWireless. No password required, available 24/7!
Stop by the library's YouTube channel every other Tuesday at noon to get teen-specific recommendations from Teen Librarian Hannah! We'll have new ideas for stuff to read, stuff to watch, stuff to listen to, and other stuff to do every week!
