Tax preparation

A free tax preparation service through the library’s partnership with the Volunteer Tax Assistance/Tax Counseling for the Elderly is ongoing.

The program offers free tax-preparing services to help low- to moderate-income people who cannot prepare their tax returns, including the elderly, the disabled and those having limited English proficiency.

The services run from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. every Saturday until April 15, excluding Easter weekend.
