Books and Media
Come to the Pillsbury Free Library and browse in person, or search our online library catalog using the “Our Catalog” link at the top or bottom of every page. Our collection includes books, music, and videos for all ages. Once you have found an item, you can request a hold in the online catalog, and our staff will set it aside for you to pick up. You can also contact our staff directly to assist with your search or to request a hold. If we do not have an item in our collection, it may be available through inter-library loan or one of our many digital resource subscriptions.
