The library is a state-of-the-art 15,000 square-foot facility that includes a multimedia area, a children's library, periodical area, and an open reading area with 60 CAC-accessible computers linked with the classroom network in the education center. Patrons have access to periodical databases and an online public catalog.

The extensive collection includes print and non-print materials: books, magazines, audiobooks, e-books, e-audiobooks, CDs, DVDs, and online streaming services. Materials may be borrowed for three weeks and renewed twice. With the exception of movies, there is no limit on the number of materials that may be checked out. For your convenience, you can renew materials in person, over the phone, or by e-mail.
