Yes, we offer a variety of online resources including e-books, audiobooks, and online databases. See the heading Catalog & Access Sites for more information. You do need a library card to access some of the resources. Others may need a password available from the library.

No; our budget is not set up to absorb a books-by-mail type of service. We do have downloadable books, audiobooks, magazines, and newspapers available. Check the question above about online resources.

 Item due dates should be stamped or written on the inside Date Due card. Most items have a 2 week checkout. Cakepans and DVDs have a one week checkout. You can always call us at 784-2019 and ask for an extension if you need longer time. Generally, we can approve the extension as long as the item has not been requested by others, or if you have already had the item for longer than 3 total checkouts/renewals. Ask us about how to access your online account if you would rather have that information at the tip of your fingers.

 Yes.  At different times throughout the year, we may offer Fine Free Weeks and Food 4 Fines. Fines are low, 20 cents per item per day for most items. See the Policies tab for a listing of different types of fines.

 We do accept donated items, but not textbooks, dictionaries, encyclopedias, DVDs, books on tape, or VHS tapes. If items are not in good condition, has tears, or has evidence of bug damage, please do not donate them to us. We always try to use donated items in our collections if they meet collection criteria, or we will put them on our Foundation book sale which occurs annually. That said, we would appreciate having a call at 308-784-2019 to see if we are currently accepting hold items due to limited storage space.

 The Board Room is available for groups and must be scheduled in advance to guarantee availability.  The Conference Room is also available for meetings and must be scheduled in advance to guarantee availability.  Both rooms require a deposit of $20 (refundable upon inspection after the event) and a user agreement form filled out prior to the meeting. Meetings can be scheduled before our opening time of 10am Mondays-Fridays, and can be scheduled after we close Mondays-Thursdays, but an individual must be at the library representing an organization at least 15 minutes before we close. There is also some equipment (dvd player, laptop, projector, etc.) available for use in a meeting, possibly at an additional charge. Please call us at 784-2019 for more information if you are interested in scheduling a meeting.
