On the webpage, it says that it has 3 kindles available for checkout. When i went to check one out, a short-haired non binary librarian denied me saying that they needed a software update and to come back in a few days. A few days later, over the phone another librarian said that they shouldn’t even have that they have kindles available at all on the website, because none of them work. Why are the librarians wasting my time with this foolishness? Do you have kindles available for checkout like it says on the website or not?

Nice and clean quiet

The place is beautiful, spacious and with a lot of material to read and investigate, the bad thing is that the librarian apparently had her son playing on the computers and made too much noise, she talked with another child and because of the excitement of the game they shouted. It seemed like everything except a library!!! I visited this place for the first time on Wednesday at 4pm and the 1 hour and 30 minutes that I was there was stressful.

The library does not offer online library card renewals. Normally we ask to see your current driver's license or ID with name and address, in person, to verify you are still living in town. However, due to COVID-19, we are now allowing library card members to renew their accounts over the phone to provide additional options and access. If you would like to renew your library card over the phone, please call 201-343-4169 and speak with the Circulation department.
