Help Us Get Books Into the Hands of Local Kids!

The Friends of the Library and the library are teaming up for our Children’s Book Drive (Now–April 20). Let’s keep our community’s youngest readers fueled with stories! From babies at the hospital to kiddos at the local laundromats and parks, we help distribute over 7,500 books a year through our special outreach programs—and we need your help! Every book helps a local child’s imagination grow. 

3 EASY WAYS TO HELP

1.) DONATE NEW BOOKS: Drop off books for ages 0–8 at the Library Bookstore (Level 0) or the Headwaters Table (Level 1).

2.) SHOP THE WISH LIST: Pick a book online and have it shipped straight to us! Here: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/YUDM3AEUBYA1

3.) GIVE $5: Just five bucks puts a brand-new book in a child’s hands! Here: https://forms.donorsnap.com/form?id=291C3889-3548-4A0E-A828-029CCC05B4B8

Let’s give our local kids the gift of reading!

You can select seeds ala carte, but we’re also offering three carefully curated bundles…

  • Pickling Plants: Pick a pack of pickle-friendly plants.
  • Guardians of the Garden: Attract pollinators. Repel invaders.
