The purpose of the Rare Book collection is to enhance the community s knowledge of local, state, and regional heritage by means of older, primary materials.
Donations are the most important source of materials in the collection.
Materials in the collection are for in-house use only. The Library does not actively seek to develop rare or valuable materials. Regional records and local or state sources make up the bulk of this collection. Additions to the collection are judged on a case by case basis. Items belonging to prominent local citizens or classics may be added.
