town library
Local lending collection
A town library is a public library serving a town or small municipality, typically funded by local taxes and open to all residents.
It functions as a community resource for borrowing books, accessing information, and attending programs: The town library hosts a summer reading program for children.
Smaller and more locally focused than city or county library systems.
