Picture of Thingdom room and items

New to the Thingdom!

This week, we’ve added a wide range of exciting items to the Thingdom, including an electric pressure washer, a Smokey Joe grill, hiking poles, a paper shredder, more STEM kits, metal detector wands, a portable air compressor, a stargazing kit, a portable scanner, a digital tape measure, a high chair, portable tables, a cooler, and much more. And there’s even more on the way in categories such as arts & crafts, health, kitchenware, etc.!

All these new additions, like everything else in the Thingdom collection, are available for borrowing with your library card. Be sure to check out our display at the front of the library, featuring an expanding selection of browsable cards.


And as always, these fantastic additions are made possible by the generous support of the Friends of the Milne Public Library. We couldn't do it without them!

Volunteer raising hand

Volunteer Shelvers Needed

We're seeking dedicated volunteers to help with shelving materials, especially with availability on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays. If you have a passion for libraries and enjoy helping others, this is a great way to contribute.


Our volunteers are essential to maintaining our library services, ensuring that everything is organized and accessible for our patrons. Your efforts as a volunteer shelver will help create a welcoming and efficient space for everyone.


If you’re interested in lending a hand, please reach out to Kira Williams, our Adult Services Librarian & Volunteer Coordinator, at kwilliams@cwmars.org - we’d love to have you join our family!
