Library of Things

The Library of Things expands our collection’s range of borrowing materials so that community members of all ages can discover tools and materials to help them explore, learn, create, and have fun!

This department keeps growing. We added a bread-making machine, and a solar generator and have even added a Jr. Library of Things for all the youngsters. 

But that’s not all we have in the Library of Things; we also have many different electronics available for checkout. iPads, mobile hotspots, Chromebooks, projectors, and more are available all year round! These electronics require a returnable deposit. See below.

  • Why buy when you can borrow?
  • Pick-up/Return items only from the Dale & Chrisney Branches. Please return the item to the branch from which you borrowed it.
