Could you use some outdoor games, electronics, or household tools this summer — without having to buy them?
Patrons can borrow those items and more for free through Euclid Public Library’s new Library of Things collection.
A Library of Things is exactly what it sounds like: a collection of useful items beyond traditional books and movies. The collection may include tools needed for a one-time project, a light-up speaker for a party, educational toys for children, or crafting equipment for creative hobbies. Additional items will be added regularly. Take a look at the catalogue at the adult services information desk.
The program is designed to help residents save money, reduce clutter, and try out items before deciding whether to purchase them.
Adults with a library card can browse available items through a binder located at the library. Patrons may check out up to two items at a time.
Library of Things materials have a 21-day checkout period and may be renewed up to three times, giving borrowers plenty of time to complete projects, plan events, or explore a new hobby.
