📝 How to borrow from a Library of Things in New Jersey
- Browse the “Library of Things” catalog. Check the library’s website or catalog for what it lends — every {state} library’s collection is different.
- Reserve the item with your card. Popular things — telescopes, projectors, power tools — get booked ahead, so place a hold early.
- 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.
- 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.
- Report any problems. Tell staff if something is damaged or a part is missing — some items carry a deposit or a replacement fee.
