And Another Thing: Pitfalls and Prospects for a Library of Things

Friday, June 2, 2023
8:00 AM – 8:45 AM PT
Location: A4
Dreaming up all the fun you’ll have when buying items to start your Library of Things is easy, but reality is a little messier! Learn from three libraries throughout the state who have started (and continued) circulating Things like battery-powered power tools, board games, hotspots, and induction cooktops.

We’ll give you advice on why to do it, how to get started, pitfalls we’ve discovered – and ways to overcome them.

This project was supported in whole or in part by the U.S. Institute of Museum and Library Services under the provisions of the Library Services and Technology Act, administered in California by the State Librarian.
