Many thanks to the Douglas County Library Foundation, Grocery Outlet, Dazey's Supply, and many more helpful donors and volunteers for making this program possible!

Last month we were pleased to present our brand-new Library of Things! Items in this collection can be checked out by any adult patron with a Riddle library card for a total of 10 business days. The collection is aimed at items patrons may only use infrequently in order to reduce wastefulness and cut down on unnecessary costs.

Pictured are just a few of the items available for checkout: Code & Go Robot Mouse, Gravity Maze: A Falling Marble Logic Game, a digital microscope, a chocolate fondue fountain, and a video to digital converter! We also have items such as croquet sets, birthday cake pan kits, Douglas County Museum passes, and more!

Happy exploring!

The Riddle City Library Board of Directors has determined that a temporary library closure will be in effect starting this week (8/31/21).

The library will remain closed for the next week, maybe two, but we'll keep you posted as soon as we open our doors for business! Don't worry about returns—just pop them in the outdoor book drop and we'll take care of the rest.
​
In the meantime, keep reading and creating with Riddle City Library style!

Edit: As of 10/12/21, the library is once again open for all services.
