The Dawson City Community Library Board , composed of community volunteers, oversees the operation of the library. The library's collection includes adult and junior fiction and non-fiction, picture books, reference materials, audio and video tapes, and magazines and newspapers. The school and public libraries interfile their material on the shelf, but have separate catalogues and manual circulation systems. The library offers a variety of programs and events for all ages. Other programs are offered as planning and resources permit.
All programs are free and open to the public on a drop-in basis.
