My library has WHAT?!? A giant Connect 4 game, a massive outdoor movie screen, musical instruments and more! One of the library's most exciting and diverse collections, the Library of Things, is full of the unexpected – from board games and guitar pedals to a sewing machine and wireless hotspots. The library has received many requests for non-traditional items in recent years, and this new collection allows customers even more ways to learn, create and save money at the library.
• Capture your next snorkeling expedition with a GoPro.
• Beachcomb on Lake Michigan with a metal detector.
• Race your visiting cousin in Mario Kart with an extra Nintendo Switch Pro Controller.
• Play games with your friends like Code Names, Truth Bombs or Settlers of Catan.
• Keep your cooking blades from dulling with a knife sharpener.
• And so much more!
The Library of Things also continues to grow based on your feedback. Visit the display on the library's first floor or browse the collection online and request an item for checkout or suggest an item for purchase.
