Wonderful helpful librarians, small place but a good book selection. There is a cool museum area upstairs and they host a great story hour every Friday at 10 am. Only complaint is that the computers aren't in tip top shape. Could use some maintenance.

Great collection, staff and programs at the Douglas Library. It is one of the earliest public libraries established in United States. Highly recommend the plant sale fundraiser in the spring as well as the book bag sales. Scrabble nights on Mondays are a lot of fun.
