Our branch has a children's area with a small table/chairs and love seat, a meeting room in the back with a 65" HDTV and Blu-Ray, free public computer stations and free wifi 24/7, couches and chairs for lounging, and more. Please let us know how we can make your visit more enjoyable.

Laundromat Library re-stocked!

We stock a tub of free books to read while waiting on laundry at the newly remodeled Wash House across the street from the library.
This part of the Laundromat Library League, which has similar locations in over 30 states.

NaNoWriMo Starter Pack

2019   | 2017   |  2016  |  2015

Each folder linked above contains a Word doc with helpful links and information to help you through National Novel Writing Month. In the years 2015 and 2017, there are additional materials as well.

We have an UItimaker 2Go 3D printer!

The printer isn't always running and does take a bit of time to demonstrate, so please contact us in advance if you'd like to see it working.

STORY TIME/ MOVIE ROOM
Thanks to the PRLD  Board of Trustees, a generous donation by one of our patrons, and many smaller donations received, we re-vamped the back room of the library with:

• New padded leather furniture
• 65" wall-mounted TV and Blu-Ray player for movie screenings
  
• Light-blocking/cold-insulating drapes on the large window
• Lightweight folding tables for groups and meetings

If you would like to reserve the back room, please contact the library.

New program for Fall/Winter 2020: Community Journaling

These journals must be requested by phone, email, or in person - they are not cataloged in Valnet.

All content must remain family-friendly or will be removed. Each returned journal will be quarantined between patrons.

Please ask if you have questions about this new program or other library offerings!

A makerspace is a collaborative work space inside a school, library or separate public/private facility for making, learning, exploring and sharing that uses high-tech to no-tech tools.

Our branch has the following items available to use in our branch:

• MakeyMakey - turn everyday objects into touch pads for music, video games and more
• Circuit Boards - learn how parallel and series circuits work
• Makedo cardboard construction system - build with free/recycled materials
• Edison programmable robots
• Snap Circuits SC-300 Electronics Discovery Kit - contains over 60 Snap-Together parts to build over 300 exciting projects (Thanks to library patron John K. for this great donation!)
• Engino, GoldieBlox, and Qubits building kits
  
  

We will also offer a variety of programs (active and passive) for all ages on a regular basis in our branch and we'll be venturing out in our community with these resources and activities as well.
If you have an idea for a program that involves "making" anything, please contact us by email or phone.  Check our calendar for updates!
