Library of Things

Did you know that the library offers more than traditional books, DVDs, and music? In fact, we have an entire “Library of Things.”

We continue to add new items, so we may have added one of your favorite things. To see what we’ve added you can search our catalog and request an item.

If there is an item you’d like to see in our Library of Things, please let us know! You can visit our contact page for ways to reach us. You can even browse directly from this page with our slider of “things.” Most items can be borrowed for 1 week, with the potential to renew, if not requested by another patron. There are also some that have a three-week borrowing time. You can make a hold request from that item’s slide below. Simply select the “click here to order” button on the slide.

Use Categories for “Things”

We offer “things” for many activities in our Library of Things. You can try a new craft, complete some home improvement, play a game, and even garden or go birding. Take a look at the list below of use categories for our many “things.”
An item list for a portion of the Library of Things. The image is a list of items organized into several categories on a light background. The categories are "THINGS that are electronic," "THINGS for repair and DIY," "THINGS for outdoors," "THINGS for crafting," and "Even More THINGS." Each category title is decorated with a small illustration suggesting the theme. Under each category, there are bullet points listing various items. "THINGS that are electronic" includes items like hotspots, home theater projectors, DVD/VCR digitizers, and portable CD players. "THINGS for repair and DIY" includes items like bicycle tool kits, stud finders, multimeters, and induction cooktops. "THINGS for outdoors" lists items such as telescopes, seed libraries, badminton kits, and kites. "THINGS for crafting" includes sewing machines, crochet kits, and easels. The "Even More THINGS" category lists diverse items, including sensory blackout tents, braille learning kits, board games, and massage guns.

In addition to the Library of Things…

Seed Library, a selection of seeds for planting.

Seed Library (seasonal)
Each spring we bring back our Seed Library.

We are happy to bring nature into our Library of Things, and a Seed Library is the perfect way to do so. Seed libraries encourage the growing, harvesting, and the promotion of biodiversity and preservation of unique plant varieties. We are excited to participate in nourishing biodiversity and helping our patrons to be a part of the process. Please note that there is often a small supply of seeds, so we ask that patrons only bring home a maximum of 4 seed packets. This seed limit offers more people the opportunity to start or enhance their gardens using our Seed Library.

We would also like to thank Wolf Hill, Ace, and Common Crow for graciously donating organic seeds, and Mark Silva for building beautiful seed containers for their storage.

Let’s plant together!
