What makes an elibrary (or express library) different? The elibrary is not considered a full service library. The collection is smaller, there is no meeting room, no children's programming such as storytime and no reference collection. Full service library services are available at many other public libraries in Polk County.

express services include:
Best sellers...Free computer access...DVDs for adults and children...Free library cards for Polk County residents.


Return library materials from any public library in Polk County and the items will be delivered back to the owning library. An outdoor book return is located on the sidewalk for after hours convenience.
