After months of systemwide planning from multiple departments and locations, our Library Of Things gardening tool collection will be available to check out starting tomorrow, March 1.
More information about our collection and programs can be found at https://www.metrolibrary.org/metrogrows. Demo videos, collection resources, and more are to be added here shortly.
All of our internal resources can be found in two places—the All Engagement SharePoint and the Access Services Documents page on the Intranet. Here are direct links to both:

Thank you to everyone for your feedback, questions, ideas, and passion to serve our community. I'm really excited to see what new best practices we can develop together as this program unfolds over the upcoming months. We will be assessing the program in August, when our ODL Health Literacy Grant expires to determine what our next steps look like. If you have questions, please give me a call or send me an email so we can problem solve together.
In appreciation,
Jessica

Looking forward to seeing how these tools assist in growing some good stuff!
I'm so excited to see too Galen! CPs handiwork is front and center on this month's Info Mag cover--beautiful work!
A customer posted about her broad fork checkout yesterday on Facebook! The post is in a gardening group with 87.2 K members. There were over 1400 Likes last I checked. The commenters are super excited. I am ridiculously proud of us.
"I went to the Warr Acres Location. They were very nice and helpful." Good job, WA!
