Tough topics
Sometimes you want to know, but you don’t want to ask.
Some topics can be hard to talk about. At the Thomas Crane Public Library, you can find, read, and borrow library materials discreetly. Search the library catalog, or use the call numbers below to find books about difficult topics in our nonfiction collection. There are self checkout kiosks at each of our library locations, and all library transaction data is private.
We are here to help, not to judge. If you are comfortable asking for assistance, our library staff is available to help you locate books and other resources.
