Library of Things collection available at Peru Library

Posted

PERU - Libraries are in the business of lending – books, DVDs, audiobooks, and eBooks come to mind. But the Peru Public Library District is adding some unusual things to its lending collection. The library is now adding board games, tote baskets, projectors (slide and computer) and much more.

The Peru Library has created a Library of Things, a collection of gadgets, devices, and objects that patrons need infrequently (binoculars, folding chairs) or want to try (3D printing pens, Roku). Most items in the collection are available to anyone with a public library card – Peru’s or any other library – but the Hotspots and Rokus are limited only to Peru library patrons.

Visit the library or its website (perulibrary.org) to learn more about the new Library of Things that are free to borrow.

The Peru Public Library is located at 1409 11th St., across from Washington Park.
