During our period of closure, there are a few options to gain access to library materials. New York State residents can apply for a New York Public Library card through the SimplyE app—and gain access to an array of digital resources, including e-books,audiobooks, databases, and more. You can also now apply for a library card online by clicking here. You will receive a physical library card in the mail to use to access downloadable ebooks and audiobooks and other online resources. Visit the library with a photo ID and document with mailing address listed within six months of receiving your card, and you can then check out materials right from Wood Library too!
Public computers are available and our wifi is on! Use our computers or bring your your own. The wifi signal is stronger closer to Wilcox Lane. Wifi hotspots are also available for checkout.
