Spring has officially sprung! As the Library transitions with the changing seasons, we're excited to announce the rotation of our Library of Things collection. Say goodbye to snowshoes and ice cleats as they find their winter home in our basement, and welcome back gardening tools, camping equipment, and life jackets from their hibernation. It is time for us to get outside and to enjoy the Spring weather and all that it offers us.
