New to the Thingdom

Imagine the thrill of discovering something valuable or historically significant right in your own backyard: a forgotten coin, a piece of jewelry, or even a hidden artifact. And who knows? You might just stumble upon a hidden treasure! Check the metal detector out today from the Thingdom and start your treasure-hunting journey - you never know what you'll find!

We’ve also added Bluetooth speakers, picnic baskets, and more to the collection this week!


As always, these additions are made possible by the generous support of the Friends of the Milne Public Library.
