Energy Island: How one community harnessed the wind and changed their worldEnergy Island: How one community harnessed the wind and changed their world by Allan Drummond

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


Join a young guide on a tour of the world's first island that is completely dedicated to renewable energy. This true story about an island in Denmark that took on the challenge of freeing themselves from nonrenewable energy. The emphasis is on how big and small things made a difference once everyone took part. See what you can do to change your own island, no matter its size.

First Harvest

While the gardening has not been great this year, (too much rain and weird weather), we have harvested our first veggies from the garden.










A few radishes and some mixed greens. Check back and see how our garden is growing.

Summer Reading Is Here!


It's time again for Summer Reading Fun and Games.

Programs are available for children of all ages, and reading levels. You can pick up a reading passport and check in anytime to win a weekly prize, or attend our scheduled Wednesday programs.

Babies and toddlers can begin reading readiness activities with our Read-To-Me prize program, and they can also enjoy fun activities with other children in Baby Bugs or Sunshine Babies.

We are welcoming back some of our best loved visitors including Holly Carine from Geauge-Trumbull Solid Waste Management District, and the KSU Trumbull Children's Theater. In addition, we are pleased to present both the author, Jeanne Bryner, and illustrator, Wanda Kover, of a new children's book. We are holding a wedding reception for The Wedding of Miss Meredith Mouse on June 18. Check out the calendar and program descriptions below to plan your summer fun.
