The Millard Oakley Library is grateful to serve the community by offering so much more than books and movies.
Our Virtual Reality Job Exploration is available any time the library is open.
Our Library of Things has tools, musical instruments, telescopes, cake decorating kits, and other items available to check out. Need to print out from your phone or our computer? Wi-Fi printing is available.
Notary service is offered Monday through Friday. Need a background check done for your job, or a new passport photo? All our employees are trained to help you get this done.
The staff is getting ready for our Summer reading program, which will begin with Barry Mitchell and Friends.
Story time will be at 10:30, and the show will begin at 1:00. Ollie Otter and Bruce Amato will also be entertaining our children this summer in June.
