Library of Things

By reserving through this portal, you are agreeing to the following:

  • to follow the lending policies of the Randall Library,
  • to pick up and return the Thing to the front desk at the Randall Library during open hours. Things cannot be returned to the exterior drop off or to other libraries,
  • to return the Thing safely and in good condition with all parts or to be responsible for repair or replacement and late fees if not returned on time,
  • that the library is not responsible for injury, loss, or damage that may occur,
  • to return the Thing on time; after three late returns borrowing privileges may be suspended.

Things can be checked out for up to 7, 14, or 21 days depending on the item, with no automatic renewals. Come to or call the circulation desk and we can try to accommodate a second reservation period. There is a yearly limit to how many times a high demand item may be reserved. Patrons may have up to 3 items checked out per month. 

If the Thing is not returned on time, a replacement charge may be added to the borrower account.

Please call if you have questions about replacement costs for a particular Thing.
