Browse our collection of board games that includes classics like Yahtzee, Pictionary and memory games, to the new Wicked game where all players try to win against Oz.
We have new tactile and learning games for preschoolers, such as felt Nursery Rhyme Felt Sets, or Shape Matching Boards that make simple designs on templates using pre-cut shapes such as squares, triangles, and parallelograms.
Our new Story Dream Machine develops beginning reading skills as children see and hear words and can read along with the narrator as the words and images shine brightly on the wall. The kit includes 6 stories and spare batteries.
For older kids we have Grab ‘n Go kits of LEGO bins with an accompanying book of 365 Things to Do With LEGO Bricks.
The Library has a DVD Player which includes a display so there is no need to connect to a computer. Our DVD collection includes movies for preschoolers, family favorites, popular TV series, selections from the BBC, fitness videos, and documentaries.
Borrow the Tabletop Ping Pong set, or Pickleball Racquets and the accompanying guide for all player levels.
Use our telescope! On chilly nights, put the telescope outside for 30 minutes before using to allow condensation on the lenses to dissipate.
