Public libraries have long been pillars of community access and learning. Today, many libraries’ roles are expanding beyond books and media to include nontraditional resources through the growing trend of the Library of Things. Offering patrons access to items—like tools, tech gadgets, board games, and household goods—allows libraries to promote equity, sustainability, and creativity by enabling borrowing instead of buying.
But with this expansion of collections comes a practical challenge: How will your library store and organize such a diverse array of items safely and efficiently?
