Hi Kathy! We currently have nine PCs wired into the network. Usually, the wired connection will provide quicker speeds than WiFi. During library hours, you may use WiFi in designated spaces on the upper level. WiFi is also available in the parking lot 24/7. Wired and wireless connections at the library should be sufficient for uploading, downloading, streaming media, video conferencing, etc. but high bandwidth activities such as gaming may not be supported. Just look for Library Guest network to connect, then accept our terms of use. Currently, we are limiting patrons to an hour a day in the library, and we do require masks. If you have any other questions, please let us know!

Hi Alexis, Thanks so much for asking! Depending on the author you are looking for, we have three "Twisted" books at the library. The authors are Laurie Halse Anderson, Jonathan Kellerman, and Andrea Kane. If none of these is the correct book, we have access to 191 other libraries in North Carolina to get the book or you can check out our digital collections at www.arlibrary.org/ebooks. Let us know if you need any more help or have any more questions!

Thanks so much for asking! We own several Big Nate books and comic strip collections at Ashe County Public Library. While many are checked out, there are currently ten copies on the shelf. If we don't have what you need, there's good news. We can get books for you from 191 other libraries in the state with a short wait time. Or, if you like to read on a screen, you can use our digital collections. NCkids.overdrive.com has Big Nate books available to download now in English and Spanish. Please let us know if you need any more help!
