The Ann Arbor District Library has a "seed sampler" program which distributes up to 5 small packets of a variety of seeds to start in your garden. Some varieties are available now, others will be available 1 May.

I knew some of these, but #AADL lets you borrow from 14 additional library systems in #Libby

Record Store Day a success! pIcked up a double album of live tracks from Calgary student and community radio station #CJSW and a Carrie Newcomer CD, both from the WCBN @wcbnfm booth at AADL Downtown.

Special bonus, a sighting of @AADLeli

Record Store Day is Saturday, April 18, 2026 at AADL’s Downtown location, 343 South Fifth Avenue, Ann Arbor. The event is free and runs 11 am-5 pm.

Now an annual event each April, the fair targets vinyl enthusiasts and features vendors selling used records, memorabilia, and gear. Patrons can dig through crates for different items or browse the library’s vinyl collection while DJs spin records.

A3. Our library has an extensive digitized clippings file for local news. Here is the #AADL clipping from 1898 seeking to build a bicycle path network around town. (Actually built in some form about 125 years later).
