OUTDOOR COLLECTION
Take your outdoor fun up a notch by borrowing a metal detector, hiking poles or even a birding kit.

Family Board Games
Try out a new board game and learn something new alongside your family. Find games for all ages and skill levels.
BIKING SAFETY
We support sustainable biking in our community. You can check out keyed locks to keep your bike secure and lights so you can be safer riding home after dark.
SEED and cutting Library
The library hosts a seed and plant cutting collection on the upper level of the library. When the growing season is over, please collect and donate seeds from your plants to keep the collection sustainable and locally-focused.
A propagation station is also available alongside our seed collection to support gardening all year round.
