Subjects covered include: finances, deployment, job resumes, and parenting. These are on the first floor, next to the DVD collection, located in front of the circulation desk.

The CARL materials come in many formats, including books (bestsellers, fiction, non-fiction, science fiction & mysteries), popular books on tape or CDs, movie videos and DVDs (classic and children's videos and the latest blockbuster releases), popular magazines and major newspapers. The library also provides electronic information like: full text magazines and newspaper databases available both in the library and on the Internet through our Links.

The CARL has assembled digital full text versions of books such as reference works, scholarly monographs, literature and fiction, and 3,400 publicly-accessible titles.
