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.
