Library of Things

The Library of Things and Traveling Makerspace is made possible by a grant awarded through the generous support of the Butler County Community Foundation!

Purpose of the Project

The project was created in two parts: the Library of Things and a Traveling Makerspace.

The Library of Things was started to provide nontraditional circulating items that promote saving money, reusing materials, preventing waste, and promoting continuous education.

How to check out an item

Anyone 18 years or older can check out a Library of Things item with a valid library card in good standing! Minors must have signed permission from a parent or guardian to check out an item. 

Take the green tag to the circulation desk to check out! All borrowers must sign a "Borrower's Agreement" and a "waiver" at checkout.
