About the Staff
The library staff is composed of helpful people.
Please feel free to consult with any one of them for guidance in the
efficient use of your public library. They do not have the answer for
every question but more than likely they know where to go or whom to ask.
If you are unhappy about something in the library, tell the staff about it.
But remember. . . the staff takes compliments as well.
| Administration | Reference & Adult | Young Adult | Children's |
The Administration is responsible for the general operation of
the library including funding, financial management, building and equipment
maintenance, personnel management, room rentals, and displays. The
Administration also oversees the operation of the County Library System and
the District Library Center. The Library Director reports to the Board
of Trustees.
Reference and Adult Service offers reference and reader's advisory services for all ages. Hundreds of questions are answered each week, from "What was the Minimum Wage in 1978?" to "What's a good mystery?" Information is available in a wide variety of areas. We have book talks, musical events, trips, a spring book sale, and a fall arts and crafts festival.
If you have a reference question, come in, call, or email us at: citlib@citlib.org
The YA Department serves middle and high school age youth with a strong
paperback and hardback collection as well as magazines, career materials,
college catalogs, and school visits. Suggestions by young patrons
concerning acquisitions are seriously considered.
The YA Department hosts programs during the year including book
talks, book clubs, band nights, and special topic presentations.
The Children's Department opened in its present location the
summer of 1992. The area, located on the lower floor of the library
was designed with preschool children and children through grade 5 in mind.
There is a well balanced collection of over 26,000 books and magazines which
include recreational and educational materials, record/cassette book
combinations, and puppets.
The Children's Department is a place for fun! There is a toy library,
a listening center, Internet access center, and a comfortable area to sit
and read. Inquire about the programming which includes Story Hours,
Summer Reading Club, Saturday Clubs, and Discovery Club to name a few.
We welcome the opportunity to serve children of all abilities. If you
require a program to be in an accessible format, please call at least
48 hours in advance so arrangements can be made.
