A GVPL library card offers much more than access to books. It connects you to a wide range of services, resources, and opportunities that support learning, creativity, and community connection.
From digital collections and technology assistance to spaces for studying, meeting, and creating, the library is here to help you explore new possibilities. While we can’t provide every service directly, we can help connect you with community resources and information when you need them.

Each of GVPL’s 12 branches has something to offer. Explore branch pages to learn about available services, hours, amenities, collections, and upcoming activities in your community.
