Our Library of Things has been revamped a bit! ✨

It’s now located in the corner by DVDs on the upper floor. Instead of seeing the actual item, you’ll see a placeholder picture of it. Select the items you want, bring them to the desk, and then library staff will fetch the items from the back. As always, a big thank you to the Friends of the WJ Niederkorn Library for sponsoring this collection!
