Your library is downtown, around town, and online.
We have a Main Library near downtown, one branch library, and a Bookmobile that travels all over town. We’ll even bring books to you if you can‘t get to the library; that‘s our free Home Delivery service.
What are your hours?
The Main Library is open weekdays from 9 am to 9 pm, Saturdays from 9 am to 6 pm, and Sundays from 1 to 6 pm. The Douglass Branch Library is open Monday through Thursday 10 am to 8 pm, Fridays from 10 am to 6 pm, and Saturdays from 10 am to 4 pm (closed Sundays). Our website is open 24/7, of course!
Our Bookmobile stops for 15 to 30 minutes at more than a dozen locations around town every week.
On what holidays is the library closed?
Check our online calendar to see when we‘re closed. You will not be charged overdue fines for any day the library is closed.
