Telescopes, digital converters, board games, coding toys, and more! Cary Memorial Library (MA) debuted its Library of Things collection in March 2017. Over a year later, we are grateful for how our collection has flourished in spite of a few hiccups along the way! This webinar discusses the why and how of starting a circulating collection of unusual items, including Cary Library's best practices for streamlining the circulation process and easing staff concerns regarding learning about all of the Things in your collection.

(No need to travel to the Indiana State Library, you can attend from the comfort of your own library!)
