See what you can find at SPL here.

That’s not all you can find in the Library of Things. Tools, sports equipment, musical instruments, games, and more can be lent from libraries across the county. Browse the entire Library of Things in the online catalog to see what is currently available. With categories like arts and crafts equipment, board games, bakeware and cookware, you are sure to find something useful. 

Try before you buy or save on one-time tools. Interested in a new hobby? Check the library of things to see if it’s as fun as it sounds before purchasing all the equipment needed. Maybe you need a specialty tool for a home repair, check-out the tools you need for that project from the library. 

Looking for an opportunity to try out some of the items available in SPL’s Library of things, come to the Library of Things: Try it Fest Thursday April 24. 

At the Try It Fest, you’ll have the chance to get a firsthand look at some of the exciting tools and resources available for checkout, including cameras, musical instruments, birding kits, and much more! This is the perfect opportunity to ask questions, try out items you’re curious about, and discover how these unique resources can enhance your learning, projects, and personal interests. We want to help you make the most of what the library has to offer, and this event is a great way to get inspired by the possibilities.
