Don't buy when you can borrow. The Library of Things consists of non-traditional items you can check out with your Library card. Items range from digital equipment to garden tools to holiday bakeware. Save yourself money and storage space by borrowing occasional use items from the Library.
Using the Library of Things
You must have a Full Access Card or Limited Access Card to borrow from the Library of Things. See Library Cards.
Most items check out for 21 days and are eligible for holds and renewals. Items must be returned directly to Library staff during open hours. Some items require a waiver for checkout and the library card holder must be age 18 or older. Replacement costs may apply if an item is lost or returned broken or with missing parts. See Borrowing Guidelines.
