Our WishList
Help us grow our PROGRAMMING!

Our library is very passionate about sharing the importance of literacy with our community and beyond with programming for all ages. We are very excited for all the library fun planned for this year! However, our programming would not be possible without our wonderful patron’s and community’s support.

Help support our library by shopping and donating items from our Amazon Wish List or Walmart Wish List to help our library's programming grow.

Amazon Wish List: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/1XM5DB13GETF4?ref_=wl_share
Walmart Wish List: https://www.walmart.com/lists/shared/WL/ca56961a-5ce4-4ae6-84fe-9b33c7b100fb

We also gratefully accept monetary donations to our library
(please specify that the donation is for programming).
 
The Wish List includes some of our most used supplies as well as some new things we can't wait to introduce.
