Have you ever needed a certain type of baking pan, but didn't want to buy it to use just once?

Would you like to make a specially-shaped or themed cake for an upcoming event?

Let the library's Kitchen Collection help!

The Auglaize County Libraries are proud to offer more than 100 different baking pans, cake toppers, utensils, and more for patrons to check out and use for up to 14 days. Funded by the Friends of the Wapakoneta Library and a grant from Midwest Electric, and boosted by a donation of pans from Reed Memorial Library in Ravenna, Ohio, the Kitchen Collection makes available those special and unusual pans you might need to add an extra layer of festivity to your party.

The BEST part is: YOU CAN CHECK THEM OUT JUST LIKE A BOOK!!!

Thankfully we have worked with the New Bremen Village Office to reschedule the pool time that was compromised on Sunday night, July 23rd due to weather.

The rescheduled rain date of the New Bremen Pool Party is -  Thursday, August 10^th from 9-11pm at the New Bremen Pool. As we have already distributed prizes and snacks, we will not be able to offer anything more than free pool time.

This rescheduled Pool Time is open to all New Bremen Pool Party #1 Attendees that had already turned in their pool passes on Sunday night (7/23/17). It will ALSO be open to any other Pool Pass Holder that did not yet turn in their Pool Party Pass to either Party. If you have any questions, please call or email the libraries.
