Display Your Collection at the Library

We’re excited to invite community members to showcase your unique collections in the library’s three display cases. Whether you collect agates, vintage bottles, rubber duckies, or Pez dispensers, this is a great opportunity to share your passion with the community. Open to all ages.

The library has three display cases. You may use one, two, or all three cases. You do not have to pack each case, but how much of your collection you put in each one is entirely up to you.
