The Seed Library is back—and it’s time to grow something amazing!
We’re thrilled to announce the return of the Seed Library for the 2026 growing season! Beginning February 16, patrons are invited to explore a generous collection of free seeds, available all season long while supplies last. Whether you’re dreaming of fresh vegetables, fragrant herbs, or colorful flowers, there’s something for every gardener—no matter your experience level.
This year’s collection features a wide variety of seeds perfect for backyard gardens, balconies, windowsills, and community plots. It’s a wonderful opportunity to try something new, grow sustainably, and connect with the joy of gardening from seed to harvest.
Patrons may select up to 5 seed packets per week, giving you the chance to return often and watch your garden evolve throughout the season.
Stop by, dig in, and let the Seed Library help you turn a small seed into something beautiful!

We’d love for you to join us for a super fun and cozy 45-minute Storytime adventure and craft! Our sessions are perfect for kids ages 3 to 5 and will include two delightful stories, some interactive songs, fun movement activities, and a cute craft to make or take home! To keep things comfy and cozy, we limit each Storytime to just 16 children. We encourage parents to let their little ones attend on their own, as this helps build important school readiness skills and encourages independence.

Cardio Drumming is an invigorating, inclusive workout that people of all ages and fitness levels can enjoy. It’s a dynamic blend of drumming and cardio set to music, boosting heart rate, enhancing rhythm, building upper body strength, refining motor skills, and hand-eye coordination—all while torching calories. What's truly incredible is that you don't need drumming experience or even actual drums! Instead, we'll use stability balls, buckets, and drumsticks. Tristen Stansfield will be leading us in an energetic session of Cardio Drumming.
Buckets and drumsticks will be provided, but attendees must bring their own stability ball.
