The Library of Things includes all kinds of non-traditional items for you to borrow, such as musical equipment, a cordless drill, metal detector, croquet set, sewing machines, and much more! This special collection is designed to give our community access to items they may not otherwise have access to, as well as encourage social connection, curiosity, and hands-on learning.
All Library of Things items can be borrowed for one week, up to two times per month. When an item is returned, there is a 24-hour waiting period before it can be borrowed by the same patron again.
You will need to review and sign a Borrowers Agreement (see Agreement here) the first time you borrow a Thing.

The Library of Things was made possible through a gift from the Friends of the Blackstone Library. The Friends continue to sponsor items in our growing Library of Things collection. By supporting the Friends, you help support the special gifts the Friends are able to make to the Blackstone.
