Library of Things

Whether you’re looking to borrow Caregiver kits to help when interacting with those experiencing memory loss or dementia, a sewing machine for your next craft, a telescope for stargazing, or have your favorite book character come to life through our new Tonies kits—the Fox River Valley Library has you covered. 

From a pickleball set to gardening tools, the Library of Things is designed to make everyday life easier while helping you explore new hobbies without the cost of buying something outright. 

It’s simple to use! You can check out an item like you would borrow and enjoy it for a week or more. And the best part? It’s all FREE with your Fox River Valley library card!
