Browse In Comfort

The Collins Branch Library collection is as diverse as it is stimulating. The heart-stopping thriller, the incisive biography, and the off-beat paperback can be easily found in a welcoming ambience.

Beginning life as the Gale Lumber Company, the Collins Branch has been a library since 1936. Detailed with outstanding oak accents, the floors, doors, and windows are testaments to the history of the community and neighborhood. The library is vibrant and dynamic, offering a comprehensive collection of books, DVDs, audiobooks, children's materials and magazines. All neighbors are welcome to pick-up their items or stay a while to browse or read the papers next to the fireplace. The library hosts a weekly story time for children and their caregivers in addition to two neighborhood book groups for adults. Check out the calendar of events for more programming information.
