For adults
The library is not just for kids (although we love them) and not just about books (although we’ve got them). We offer a wide range of adult-specific programs and services created to inspire lives and transform our community. Wherever you are in life, we’re there for you.
At the library, you can:
- Find a quiet space to work. Send an email or a fax. Get support with starting the business you’ve been imagining
- Join a book club. Level up your computer skills. Slow down with meditation, or get moving with line dancing.
- Take a class online. Get tools for your job search. Find your ancestors.
- Get reading recommendations. Find the latest bestsellers. Write your own novel.
There’s something for everyone – come check us out!

A graduate of the University of Texas at Austin’s School of Information, they are passionate about digital literacy, diversity, and accessibility in libraries.
