Library of Things FAQs

  • Patrons are responsible to returning all library materials in good condition.  If you lose or break a piece from a kit please inform library staff before you return it.  Staff will review the missing/damaged piece and charges may be applied for replacement cost of that specific piece (not the entire kit).

  • Our Storytime kits are built around a theme to help present an engaging, age‑appropriate storytime. They are designed to save planning time while supporting early literacy and interaction. Each Storytime kit will include two (2) children’s books, activity sheets and learning games, a sensory toy, and a caregiver guide with practical reading tips. 

  • Each kit contains a variety of books and activities to help children develop phonics skills. Many are themed around crowd-favorite characters such as Pete the Cat, Marvel, Pinkalicious, PJ Masks, Angelina Ballerina, and PAW Patrol, so your little ones will be excited to learn alongside their favorite fictional friends
