At-Home Learning Support - We're Here to Help!
Let us help you with your learning-at-home efforts by pulling books of stories, nature studies, science exploration, poetry, easy readers, histories, seasonal books, and just plain fun books.


We will take your requests, pull books, and let you know when they are ready to pick up. We even have STEAM Maker Kits for checkout - plus puzzles, games, DVDs, and audiobooks.

We know there is a lot to juggle right now, and we want to support your learning journey. Send an email to our Youth Librarian, at jaquithyouth@gmail.com with your topics/requests and they’ll help you find what you need.
