Books include fiction such as science fiction, romance, thrillers, poetry, plays and classics plus videos, dvds and cds; children’s books; books for young adults; non-fiction books including art, cookbooks, foreign languages, business, history, science, textbooks, and much more.

Proceeds from book sales help underwrite library programs and services, including lecture and film series, additions to the library collection and museum passes.
