Need a book for a few more days? Renew online through the library catalog by going to your account. You can see when items are due and if you owe any extended user fees - if you owe any fees you can now pay online. That way the only thing you'll have to worry about the next time you visit the library is finding more good reads.

Electricity bills are rising.  Cut your costs by checking out a Kill A Watt from the library!  This simple device plugs into any electrical outlet. Then, plug an appliance into the Kill A Watt to find out how efficient your appliances are.  The screen displays the amount of energy the appliance uses by the Killowatt hour, just like the electric company.  Deciding which appliances to unplug between uses can cut your electric bill significantly!  You can also monitor your power's voltage, line frequency, and power factor.  This will help you decide if it's time to buy a new, more energy efficient appliance.  Kill A Watts can be checked out for four weeks.  Ask at the Information Desk!

You may now donate to the library safely and conveniently online.  Donate online today by clicking here or for more information on recognizing a person or commemorating a special event download our gift tribute form.
