TURN UP THE FUN WITH THE LIBRARY OF THINGS Summer celebrations are underway and as you plan your fun summer get togethers, don’t forget that the Coos Bay Library has lots of items to make your parties even better in our Library of Things. In fact, you could consider us your party warehouse! Are you looking to host a fun outdoor shindig? We have you covered with outdoor games like cornhole, horseshoes, and giant Jenga. Or if those don’t strike your fancy, how about bocce ball, croquet or pickleball? These and many other outdoor games are available for checkout. Maybe the outdoors isn’t really for you. Not to worry, we have plenty of fun that can be used indoors as well. Check out our disco lights, frozen drink maker, and karaoke machine and turn your living room into a karaoke bar. Or have a real jam session by checking out our musical instruments including a banjo, bongo drums, a guitar or violin. If you are a firm believer that food makes the party check out some of our appliances that will make cooking a breeze. These include an air fryer, an instant pot, and even a bread maker. If you are looking for a cool summer dessert, try our ice-cream maker and don’t forget the waffle cone maker to really jazz up your creations. For those who like to bake, we have lots of fun pans and cookie stamps including a pan shaped like an octopus, a stained-glass window bundt pan, a pan that makes mini bug cakes and so much more. Whatever your summer plans, check out the Library of Things at the Coos Bay Library and see for yourself how we can add to the fun! https://www.coosbaylibrary.org/things?page=0
