Everybody knows that libraries loan out books, magazines, and movies, but did you know we have things? Nearly all libraries have special collections that are usually referred to as the Library of Things. These “things” range from puzzles to telescopes, wi-fi hotspots to lawn games, and more.
The Library of Things at Plumb Library currently consist of a tabletop telescope, snowshoes for kids, T-Mobile wi-fi hotspots, a ukulele, a yarn winder, a kill-a-watt kit for measuring electrical use in your home, and MOBY backpacks for outside activities and exploration. All these are available for check out with an adult library card (except the yarn swift). Some items require that you sign a waiver form. All of these items circulate for one week and are subject to overdue fines. We hope to be adding more items to our collection in the coming months, so keep an eye out for that announcement. Feel free to check out other area libraries for even more things.
Library cards are required for checkout. If you have lost your card, it can be replaced for a $2.00 charge. A great way to make sure you always have your card with you is to upload it to the SAILS Mobile app. It’s quick and easy and we’re happy to show you how it works.
Library hours are: Mondays/Thursdays 1:00 to 8:00 pm; Tuesdays/Wednesdays 10:00 am to 6:00 pm; Fridays 10:00 am to 5:00 pm; Saturdays 10:00 am to 2:00 pm. We are closed on Sundays and Holidays.
