The city's public library, located at 10th and M Streets, was completed several years ago, funding through a bond approved by local voters. In addition to an extensive collection spread over two floors, the library boasts a children's library, state-of-the-art internet access, a variety of free search databases, original art, and a jazz collection. The library offers frequent free music performances and education lectures.
