Westfield Washington Public Library celebrates 123rd birthday

Now there is more than just books to check out at the Westfield Washington Public Library.

The Westfield Library Foundation (WLF) recently gave an Adult Library of Things to the library in honor of its 123rd birthday on Tuesday, April 15. The collection includes everything from instruments and tool sets to craft supplies and cameras.

“We wanted to give the library a gift the entire community could benefit from,” WLF Executive Director Erin Downey said. “This collection will allow our neighbors to discover new hobbies, try out new tools, and learn in a way that fits their lifestyle. What a fun way to celebrate the library and all its patrons.”

Located on the second floor of the library on bookshelves near non-fiction, the collection features a variety of tools and resources, including a bicycle tool kit, a rotary cutting set, ukuleles, an electric yarn winder, and a thermal imaging camera to name a few. All items are available for checkout to adult library cardholders.

Community members are invited to grow the Adult Library of Things by purchasing a gift from the library’s Amazon Wish List at this link.
