The jasmine flowers on the green wall at Banks Public Library are just starting to burst into bloom! |
Banks Public Library is small but mighty! While we have lots of bestseller fiction and DVDs, like any good library, one thing that is special about our branch is our DIY/rural knowledge. Our staff can easily field questions about raising poultry, knitting a scarf, when to plant cucumbers or many other topics. Our seed library is a popular new addition to our collection and we even have staff who can recommend local birding sites and talk about what you see there!

"A light-hearted, steamy romance that was just what I needed when all of the weightier books I was planning to read were too serious for my current mood." - Susan, Banks Public Library |
"This book is charming, and entertaining. It features a protagonist we can all relate to in some way, and a cast of unique and zany characters. When her life is turned topsy-turvy she finds her way through the crazy family she didn't know existed, a persistent suitor, her cat Phil, and ice cream!" - Lisa, Banks Public Library |
"The story takes place in 1920s Ceylon on a tea plantation, a time and place I know nothing about and I found the era fascinating (and appalling). This is a lush book that is leisurely paced and a good distraction." - Michele, Banks Public Library |
