While books are at the center of any library’s collection, libraries are about so much more!
Your library card opens a world of possibilities, and true to our mission, Public Education for All, we offer hundreds of classes per month; materials to learn languages; passport services; tools to create arts and crafts, digital media, and DIY projects; access to newspapers, magazines, and streaming services, and much more. You can even borrow art, toys, and ukuleles!
In our 5 Things campaign, we ask people to name five things they can find at HCLS online or at our branches. Watch videos on our website and social media and discover the wealth of resources available at the Library for free!
