Pickleball equipment lending

All libraries now have pickleball equipment available to loan out to the public!

What is Pickleball

Adults are invited to check out pickleball equipment from the library to try out this sport on a local tennis court. Bring your library card, request your pickleball equipment, and sign a waiver form at any library. If you have not played before, the kit includes basic instruction about how to play the game.
