Main Library

Located on Civic Center Drive, the District's Main Library was established in 1966. In 1986, the facility was expanded to include a community room. It was further renovated in 1994 so that it would comply with ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) requirements. The facility measures 18,000 square feet and has a collection of 92,000 volumes. Both children's and adult programming is offered at the branch. Please see our on-line calendar of events for more information.
