Important Announcements

Print Book Shipments Delayed

You may have noticed it has taken longer than usual to see your favorite new releases appear on the shelves over the past few months, including our high-demand lease books. We apologize for the inconvenience and the longer wait times!
We recently received news that our major supplier of print books had abruptly gone out of business, providing no notice to libraries.
This has affected print books throughout the library, including nonfiction, fiction, and young adult collections. It has especially affected our high-demand B&T lease book collection, which we used to get multiple copies of high-demand titles.

Parking may be limited. Parts of the sidewalk may be closed for safety We apologize for any inconvenience. Thank you!
