About Us

The Information Services Department offers a welcoming, user-centered environment for all information seekers in our community. Our goal is to help in your journey to knowledge, understanding, and empowerment. We work to ensure our reference collection is timely, accurate, and reliable, and to provide equitable access and service to all users both inside and outside of the Library.
