The Hilltop Community Library provides a beautiful, quiet setting for
browsing and checking out books and it is much more than a lending
library. Here patrons can also find computer instruction, homework
help, literacy materials, in-house computers for personal use,
Internet Explorer for Internet searching, reference manuals, more
than 1,000 journals accessed via computer, computer health information,
and the public catalog available on-line and through Internet.
Children can participate in story hours, craft constructions and
summer reading programs.
