What is the Library of Things?
The Library of Things is a collection of items available to patrons, like library books, at no charge. At Waterford Library this collection of things includes items such as bike locks, experience passes, 3D pens, craft kits, STEAM items (science, technology, engineering, arts, and math items), ukuleles, literacy kits, puzzles, games, hot spots and more. Items checked out at Waterford Library must be returned to the circulation desk of the Waterford Library. A valid Prairie Lakes Library System card in good standing is required to borrow from the Library of Things. Some items may require an additional agreement policy to be signed before checkout. Checkout periods vary by item and these items are NOT a part of the library’s fine-free policy. The borrower is solely responsible for items checked out from the Library of Things and will be billed for reasonable damage or replacement costs as determined by library staff.
