Storywalks®
A StoryWalk consists of pages that have been removed from a picture book and glued onto posters, which are then staged outside the library, in a park, or other walkable public space. Presently they are located at Blowing Rock Memorial Park, the Tot Lot Playground near the Greenway (across from the Armory) and at the Cove Creek Walking Trail (near the Western Watauga Branch Library) See here for more information.
Seed Library
Start your own garden and share the seeds. Free seeds will be available for check out just in time for gardening season. We have a Little Free Seed Library at the edge of the lawn to the right of the driveway entrance. Look for the seed catalog near the circulation desk. Just fill out a form at the Circulation Desk indicating the number and type of seeds taken. Thanks to our partner Blue Ridge Women in Agriculture for their assistance, and a big thank you to Eden Brothers for their seed donation!
