A Library of Things allows you to borrow non-traditional library items such as snowshoes or a sewing machine. More than a “try before you buy” opportunity, the Library of Things aligns with the mission of our library — to offer a collection of materials that meets the needs, interests, and abilities of our diverse community. A Library of Things promotes sharing with community members, sustainability, and trying new things. We hope you enjoy!
Interested in donating? Please let us know what you have in mind and we will see if we are able to add it to our collection. Thank you!
