movie sale - don't miss this one! |
If you don't find what you're looking for please tell the staff so
they can either find something for you at one of our sister
libraries or possibly make a purchase request.

not
consumed at the computer area, you may bring in your own
snacks & beverages or buy them at the library!

Books & More to Your Door!
 
Do you know someone
who has no car, can only drive or leave home for short periods of
time, uses a wheelchair, or has been restricted to their bed?
If someone is "homebound", even temporarily,
because of lack of transportation, illness, disability, pregnancy,
or age and they would like to borrow books, movies, music or other
materials from the library we have a solution.
We now have a program which makes materials available to Alvarado
area residents who are unable to visit our library.
Need more details?
