Library has announced the launch of its groundbreaking new initiative, the “Library of Things” program, thanks to a generous sponsorship from the Friends of Ste. Genevieve County Library.
“This innovative program is designed to empower teens and adults in our community to acquire new skills, explore their interests, and have fun while doing so,” a library official stated.
“The “Library of Things” program is a dynamic addition to our library’s offerings, going beyond traditional book lending to provide an extensive collection of tools and experiences for patrons of all ages. From sewing to baking, stargazing to hiking, and a wide range of other exciting activities, this program opens doors to diverse learning opportunities and adventures.”
Key Highlights of the “Library of Things” Program:

Whether you’re interested in trying your hand at sewing, perfecting your baking skills, exploring the night sky with stargazing tools, or going on outdoor adventures with hiking gear, our comprehensive kits make it easy for you to get started.
- **Engaging Workshops and Events**: The library will host interactive workshops and events led by local experts and enthusiasts. These events cater to individuals at all skill levels, from beginners looking to discover a new hobby to advanced learners seeking to hone their abilities.
