The public library got its new home in 2001 and was the first building on the relatively new Village Commons area. The two-story building has a collection of about 145,000 books, and has ample space for computers and study areas.
There are countless programs for people of any age, and free Wi-Fi for card holders or guests. The library is quiet and spacious, and one must-see is a life-size fake tree that is in the back in the children's section.
Study rooms may be reserved, and there are also public meeting rooms in the library.

Very friendly staff. If a book or other needed item is not in this library, one of their partner libraries may have it and the book will be sent quickly to this library. Just check the online catalog- piece of cake!
