Library of Things

What is a library of things?

Loutit District Library began checking out WIFI hotspots in the fall of 2019. Due to the success of this collection, we would like to expand our library of things. A library of things is a collection of materials available for library users to circulate beyond traditional collections such as books, magazines and DVDs. This spring, we will be starting a seed library. Please contact krice@loutitlibrary.org if you are interested in donating seeds for this project.

We would like your feedback to help us make decisions as we make our plans for this collection. Stay tuned for more information as well as the possibility of additional surveys. Thank you for participating in this survey.
