Tonieboxes are a screenless speaker and audio system that allows young learners to engage with their favorite characters and hear songs and stories! Our library currently offers over 40 Tonies to choose from that work with Tonieboxes, so you can check out four Tonies per household and keep the fun going!For more information on just what Tonies are and how to use them, as well as the Tonies available from the library, visit our website.

Craft Items
|
We are starting a new crafting group for adults! While participants will bring their own projects to work on, it is always helpful to have extra supplies if anybody needs them. We are looking for yarn, knitting needles, crochet hooks, embroidery floss, cross-stitch supplies, patterns, and other items that may be beneficial to this group. Clean out your old hobby closet and drop some gently-used items into the bin in the vestibule during the library's open hours. If you have a large donation or are uncertain if some items are wanted, please speak to a staff member. |
