How It Works

  • Library card holders age 12 and older are invited to check out items from the Library of Things from the Little Turtle branch library. Can't make it to the Little Turtle branch? Place items on hold for pickup at your favorite library location.
  • Items can be checked out for 7 days. Items can be renewed 1 time, pending holds placed by other patrons.
  • Fines on overdue items are $1 per day, up to $5. Lost, damaged or incomplete sets will be charged replacement cost. To find out replacement costs of individual items, please check with library staff.
  • Returned items must be taken back to the library in clean, working condition.
  • Please return items from this collection inside a library location whenever possible.  Large items will not fit inside drop boxes.
  • Do you have a suggestion for the next "Thing" we should add to the collection? Please let us know!
