It's an exciting time for the Parkland Community Library!

We are now a free Wi-Fi spot. No laptop? Borrow one to use in the library with your driver's license or other official photo ID.

Also, we have e-books that you can download for free (just need a library card) to your Sony Reader, Nook Color, and other e-reading devices that support the Adobe Content Server. Visit our website at www.parklandlibrary.org or call a reference librarian for more information. And congratulations to the winner of our Nook Color drawing, Jen Stempel!

Need a library card but can't get to the library right away? We have online registration through our website.

Can't remember when your library items are due? Sign up for Library Elf on our website, which will send you email reminders.
