📝 How to borrow from a Library of Things in Montana

  1. Browse the “Library of Things” catalog. Check the library’s website or catalog for what it lends — every {state} library’s collection is different.
  2. Reserve the item with your card. Popular things — telescopes, projectors, power tools — get booked ahead, so place a hold early.
  3. Pick it up at the desk. Some items come in a case with instructions or accessories; check that everything is included when you collect it.
  4. Use it, then return it on time. Loan periods are usually shorter than for books, and libraries often limit how many things you can borrow at once.
  5. Report any problems. Tell staff if something is damaged or a part is missing — some items carry a deposit or a replacement fee.
