LIBRARY OF THINGS

    WHAT IS A LIBRARY OF THINGS AND HOW DOES IT WORK?

    The Library of Things is a collection of loanable items that goes beyond the traditional definition of library
    materials. It’s a collection of games, electronics, tools and more that you can check out with your library card.
    A natural evolution of the library’s existing lending model, this collection supplements the library’s approach to
    meeting the needs of our diverse and growing community.

    ¿QUÉ ES UNA BIBLIOTECA DE COSAS Y CÓMO FUNCIONA?

    Una biblioteca de cosas es una colección de artículos prestables que va mas allá de la definición tradicional de
    materiales de la biblioteca. Es una colección de juegos, electrónicos, herramientas y mas que puede sacar con su
    tarjeta de la biblioteca. Una evolución natural del modelo de préstamo existente de la biblioteca, esta colección
    complementa el enfoque de la biblioteca para satisfacer las necesidades de nuestra comunidad diversa y en
    crecimiento.
