Library of Things (LoT)
The Library of Things (LoT) is a collection of non-traditional materials to check out for free with a library card. Need something for a one-time project? Explore our collection of tools, electronics, gadgets, kits, lawn games and more.
LoT items are all 7-day checkouts. There is a limit of 2 checkouts per patron and must be checked out at a service desk. Before checking a “thing” out, each patron needs to sign a “Library of Things Safety and Condition Agreement Recognition”. These agreements are located on the display table by the LoT. Each patron only needs to sign one agreement for all items and the agreement lasts in perpetuity.
