Its current location , at 363 Glenneyre St ., was constructed by local architect Fred Briggs and officially dedicated in 1973 . Today , the library is home to more than 50,000 books , as well as magazines , DVDs , board games , Chromebooks , Wi-Fi and even hot spots that can be checked out for internet access at home . Earlier this year , the library officially celebrated its 50th anniversary in this location .
