the material the federal government publishes in print, electronic and internet

Ways you can help the Library
 |
The library world has changed dramatically. With the introduction of computers, libraries have become more than just books. In order for CHCBL to thrive in our community the library must stay updated and equipped to meet many different challenges. While grants and other funding resources have helped, there are still materials and resources that the library system needs assistance to continue to carry. | |
