PIN Numbers Dont forget to
take advantage of a PIN number (password) for your account. With a
PIN, you can search the entire POLARIS system, see what items you
have out, and request and renew books from home.
Gift Certificates Need a gift
idea? You can purchase a one year Library card for an individual or
complete family that lives out of the library district. We will
provide a gift certificate for presenting, and the recipient can
bring it in, along with a photo ID and proof of address to receive
their own Library Card.
Book Clubs - The Annex Building Circulation Desk collects
reading lists for all the Book Clubs in the area. So if you cant
remember what you read or what you are supposed to read, we have you
covered. Drop off your lists at the Circulation Desk, or e-mail
