Online Book Clubs

Did you know we have Online Book Clubs (fiction, non-fiction, mysteries, classics, etc.) that are delivered to you via e-mail?

"This is great, I can't believe I did not see this opportunity on previous visits. What a marvelous idea!"
Thanks, Jean M. (ACLS Patron)

Join our Online Book Clubs. Every day, Monday through Friday, you will receive in your email a 5-minute selection from a chapter of a book. By the end of the week, you'll have read 2-3 chapters. Every Monday we start new books.

New! Spanish Web Portal (en espanol)

There is a new link on our webpage, En Espanol, which takes you to a spanish webpage. There is information on Microsoft Translator and helpful resources for spanish-speaking residents.

The American Dream Starts @ your library” literacy project, funded by the Dollar General Literacy Foundation allowed us to "provide a Spanish language version of our webpage which will help Spanish-speaking residents navigate our online services, including databases for learning to read, speak and write English, GED services, and Spanish language magazines and newspapers,” says Janet Marler, project coordinator for the library system. “We are delighted to be able to reach out to the Hispanic community thanks to Dollar General and the American Library Association.”
