Adult Services

Located on the upper level of the Nancy Guinn Memorial Library, the Adult Services Department offers a vast collection of resources ranging from traditional print to e-books and online databases. Adult Services also provides spaces to relax with a book or magazine, conduct research, or engage in individual and group study.

Patrons who have a valid PINES card and are 18 years and older may use the Adult Services reference and law library computers to access our many Galileo databases, such as Mango Languages, Reference USA, Learning Express, Ancestry Library edition, and WestLaw Next. Patrons may also access the majority of these databases using their own device and connecting to our free WiFi. Guest passes are available to out-of-state visitors.

The Adult Services Department also has a copying station available for use. The cost of copying documents is $0.15 per page (black and white only). We don’t have a color printer in the library.
