Every Branch, Every County — No Gaps in the Map

From the 40,000-square-foot downtown flagship in the capital to the 800-square-foot branch in a converted train depot three counties north — each of the 1,247 locations is verified, hours-updated, and linked to its regional coordinator. Library directors use this directory to benchmark peer institutions. City councils use it to justify budget lines. Residents use it to find Saturday story time.

Literacy & Programs

Story Time to Senior Tech Literacy — 340 Active Programs

The state system runs 340 recurring programs across four age cohorts: early childhood (ages 0–5), school-age, adult literacy, and senior digital skills. Superintendents use the interlibrary loan data to supplement classroom collections mid-semester. Parents find Saturday story time slots for three-year-olds. The program calendar updates in real time as branches add or adjust offerings.

Digital Catalog

3.2 Million Digital Titles, Accessible with Any Library Card

The statewide digital catalog — ebooks, audiobooks, academic journals, and streaming databases — is accessible from any branch card, including cards issued the same day. Cardholders in the 23 counties below the digital access threshold can request a hotspot loan alongside their card. No waitlist for most titles. No late fees, ever.
