All Anythink libraries and administrative offices will be closed on Monday, Sept. 7, 2026, for Labor Day.

The Anythink Bookmobile’s scheduled stops on Saturday, September 12, are canceled while the Bookmobile participates in Bennett Days.
 

The mud pit at the Anythink Nature Library is currently closed for maintenance. We’re working to get it ready for visitors again, but we do not yet have a reopening date. We’ll share an update as soon as the area is ready for more muddy adventures. Thank you for your patience and understanding!
