Tax Help

For those who don't already know, we once again have volunteers from AARP helping people with their 2008 tax returns. You can find the dates, times and more information on our Events Page.

We also have most of the major forms & instruction booklets available in the library entryway, but you can also download virtually anything the IRS publishes from their website. All you need to read & print the documents is the free Adobe reader program which you probably already have on your computer. Most convenient of all, you can also type on most of these forms, save your information and print the completed form.

You can also have IRS documents mailed to you by calling the IRS directly at 1-800-829-3676.

Catalog Features

One service available in our new catalog PALS which few of our patrons use is the ability to put DVDs on hold.

You can now add yourself to the waiting list for a DVD just as you can for books and other materials. All you need is your library card #! You receive a call when your item is available for you to pick up.

Don't be discouraged if you seem to be far back in line, due to the number of copies held throughout the county, the wait may be shorter than you think!
