Strollers are available to rent at the Mattapoisett Free Public Library.

Top-Notch Strollers

These strollers aren't your cheap fold-up ones, either. They're heavy-duty and really nice. Plus, they can accommodate two children.

If you have little ones coming into town for a visit, let the parents know they don't need to check a stroller at the gate at the airport or cram the suitcases around the wheels when packing up the truck of the car.

"They're built for the beach, local Land Trust trails, or bike paths" the library shared on its Facebook page.

"Please bring an adult SAILS library card to borrow our Evenflo All Terrain Wagon or Jeep Destination Double Stroller for one week," the library stated.

Donations Made It Happen

How did the strollers become available? Generosity. Various members of the community donated the new items.

"Thanks to a generous grant from the Richard & Ann J. Prouty Foundation, Bank of America, N.A., Co-Trustee, the Library is able to offer two heavy-duty strollers for checkout," the Facebook post read.
