SWAN Libraries App is Disabled
The vendors that work with SWAN to develop and support the SWAN Libraries App have unexpectedly disabled the app. SWAN is working to get a new app available in 2024. In the meantime, you can use the mobile-friendly library catalog on a phone or tablet’s web browser and still access your library account and library card for self-checks.
Using your library catalog on your phone or tablet gives you access to your account, holds, e-books, e-audiobooks, and more.

Strategic Plan
Every three to five years, the Library goes through a strategic planning process to reevaluate our mission, vision, and long-term goals. This process helps ensure that we are meeting community needs and addressing needed updates in the building and operations and provides an opportunity for staff to respond to local and industry changes and trends.
