People who reside outside the city limits will be required to pay a $15.00 per year family registration fee. An adult family member must fill out and sign an application form. A family number will be assigned and a library card will be issued.

We have current issues of many magazines, and back issues of the Kimberly Advertiser and the East County Chronicle.

A collection of recorded books on tape and cd is available for both adults and children. Music cd’s are also available.

We have educational, classic and entertainment videos and dvd’s for children and adults.

Internet access is available for public use. A signed internet use policy is required for each user and for patrons under 18 this form must also be signed by a parent or legal guardian.

Services; The staff is pleased to help patrons with reference questions and to recommend titles.
