You don't need to be a member to use the Library. However, support from Library members is critical to the Library since most of our funding comes from individuals.

As a Library member, you can check out books and videos from our collections, and you also receive a subscription to our member newsletter, Heritage. The basic membership rate is $40. We also have a $20 student rate and a $10 "people's rate."
