Check out of books, DVDs, audio-books (on CD and downloadable), eBooks, and magazines. All items have a two week checkout period, and items overdue more than 14 days are considered lost and must be returned or paid for. Patrons are unable to checkout once an account reaches $5.00 in bills.  To get a library card, a photo ID and proof of address are needed. For more information on digital materials, see our "resources" page.

Access to library materials held at other libraries within the state, with item pickup available at Dominy Memorial Library, plus the ability to use your card at any library in our system (RAILS).

Request materials by placing holds online or by calling the library. Then, pull up out front of the library once we have notified you that your hold is ready, and give us a call. Our staff will then run your materials out to your car!
