Library of Things
What is the Library of Things?
The Library of Things is a collection of nontraditional items that can be borrowed for one week. It supplements other items in our collection and supports a sharing economy that creates less waste. “Don’t buy – borrow!”
How do I borrow a Thing?
The Library of Things is open to everyone. If you’d like to check out an item, all you need is a CLAMS card in good standing. All things can be borrowed for one week; they cannot be placed on hold or returned to alternate locations.
What Things are available?
All our Things, and their availability, are listed in CLAMS. They include:
- Sewing machine
- Bike lock
- Bocce game for outdoors
- Cornhole game for outdoors
- Chess and checkers
- Deluxe Scrabble
- Trash grabber/reach tools
- Metal detector
- Trekking poles
- Microscope

More Things are being added all the time!
