If the winter blues have got you down, how about heading to your neighborhood library and taking advantage of everything a library card has to offer?
Forty of our library locations are now offering a sixth day of service, which means more time to fit a library visit into your busy schedule.
In addition to books, DVDs, and audiobooks available from our extensive catalog, a Free Library card opens up a world of possibility, including access to some of the more non-traditional items available for lending – those that will leave you saying "I didn’t know I could get that from the library!" We also offer over 25,000 events each year across the system, so there’s truly something for everyone.
