Library Services

In addition to our book collection, the Mercer Shaw Public Library has several services available at little or no cost.

Computers and Free WiFi

Two desktop computers with high speed internet

These computers are available during library hours at no charge.
Black and white copies can be made and faxes sent for $0.15 per page.

Laptop Bench

A low bench just outside the library perfectly accommodates your laptop. Free WiFi is available during Town Office hours. (Come in during library hours to get the password.) Bring in your coffee or tea and stay awhile!!

A growing and dynamic collection.
So many books, so little time!

If you cannot find a book that you are looking for, ask if we can track it down or purchase it to add to our collection. Click on the Books, Books, Books Page to see our recent additions.

Our children's reading area has been upgraded and has hundreds of books for all ages. We hope to see a lot of activity in this room throughout the year.

Pre-teens and Teens

Hundreds of titles are available for young teens through high school aged readers.

Tiny Bookstore

There is a little "bookstore" just outside the solarium entrance to the library. It is full of very gently used or like new donations! Please come in and give some of the books on this cart a new home (and make a small cash donation if you can).

Our quiet reading space has been upgraded. In this room adults can read, peruse books to check out, play a quiet board or card game, or add a few pieces to the ongoing jigsaw puzzle while enjoying a cup of tea or cocoa. Comfortable chairs, natural lighting, soft lamps and plants enhance the comfort of the space.
