Our Staff

Our library staff are proud to serve our district and welcome all of our community to use our services. Our staff members are knowledgeable and can help with all things from book recommendations to assistance with digital devices, printing and scanning, local history, or simply providing a safe and quiet space for you to enjoy.

Digital and Online

If you are unable to visit your local library, we offer a range of digital resources including eBooks and eAudiobooks through our online digital platforms – Wheelers and BorrowBox. We also offer a free Housebound Service for those who are unable to visit our libraries due to illness or infirmity.
