Things to check out at the circulation desk
available year-round
Things range from kitchen tools to snowshoes to electronic equipment. Most can be reserved ahead of time using the green button below. Click to explore and reserve Things for checkout during regular library hours.
We also have additional Things, like hiking poles and wifi hotspots, that you can find in the library catalog. We sometimes call them “Things by Chance.” They are available first-come, first-served, but you can place holds, just as you would for books or DVDs.
