Crook County Library

Mission Statement

The mission of the Crook County Library is to provide timely access to information and ideas. The Library will promote the enjoyment and necessity of reading, the discovery of knowledge and culture, and the advantages and pleasures of learning.

THE COLLECTION

The library's collection includes a diversity of materials for all ages, including fiction and nonfiction, audiobooks, music, movies, magazines, newspapers, reference books, and Spanish language materials. The library also provides small telescopes for checkout. Several online databases provide patrons access to digital content such as eBooks and magazines.

PUBLIC COMPUTERS

Public computers with Internet access and word processing programs are available. A library card grants access to a public computer and nonresident visitors may request a visitor pass with government-issued photo identification. Young people under age 17 need a parent or legal guardian to authorize their use of the public computers. Printing from computers is available for .10 cents for black and white prints or .50 cents for color prints.

USING THE LIBRARY

Residents of Crook, Deschutes, and Jefferson counties are eligible for a free library card with presentation of required identification. Nonresidents may purchase a library card for a 12-month or 3-month period. Those under 17 need a parent or legal guardian to be present and to sign their registration application, accepting responsibility for the use of the minor child's card. Patrons agree to notify the library of changes in their contact information or if their card is lost or stolen. A replacement card may be issued for $1.00.

RETURNS

Returns can be made inside the library at the Checkout Desk during open hours, or at the outside book drop located off 2nd Street when the library is closed.
