Our Library Of Things is in full swing! Come by and take a look, alternatively you can search the Library Catalog for Library of Things to see everthing available in the County. Be sure to place any holds for pickup at the location that owns the item. We are currently working on a software solution with the vendor to make sure that this will be the only option. We will continue to add items to this collection regularly, so check back monthly to see what’s new!
