Library of Things

Discover more than just books at your library. Our Library of Things is your gateway to a world of possibility, offering an ever-growing collection of non-traditional items that support learning, creativity, and everyday life.

From technology and equipment to games, and early literacy resources, we’re filling our shelves with things you never expected to find at the library—because we believe knowledge takes many forms.

Whether you're looking to try before you buy, learn a new skill, or simply explore something new, the Library of Things gives you access to tools and experiences that enrich your life—without the cost.
