Welcome to the Thingdom!

Why buy when you can borrow? The Thingdom is our brand new lending library of things, from which you will be able to borrow from a wealth of exciting items!
So How Does It Work?
When you come to the library, you'll see that on a bookcase across from the circulation desk we have a display containing a number of browsable cards. These cards correlate to items that are currently available. If something catches your eye - just take the card to the circulation desk, and staff will retrieve the item for you.
Lending Guidelines:
These items help support the library’s mission to provide a variety of information and materials to support curiosity, free inquiry, and life-long learning. Please view the full Thingdom circulation policy on our policy page.
