Library Of Things (L.O.T.) at Brooks Free Library
Did you know the library offers more than just books and movies for you to borrow? We have games, craft kits, and more. All you need to check out a Thing is a CLAMS library card. Things check out for 1 week for you to enjoy at home or on vacation. To check one out, just bring the empty case on display to the Circulation Desk and they will provide you with the item. They circulate for 1 week with no renewals.
You can browse our current collection of Things by scrolling down this page or in the catalog at clamsnet.org.
Please note: Our ‘Things’ must be picked up and dropped off at Brooks during open hours and they can not be returned in the bookdrop. Library of Things can not be requested or put ‘on hold’.
