Beyond Books: Discover the Unexpected Treasures at Your Local Library

By The Admiral Staff

Public libraries are evolving beyond just books, offering a wide range of items for free checkout with a library card. These “Library of Things” collections can include everything from household items and electronics to toys, musical instruments, and even cake pans and air fryers. Libraries also provide free access to streaming services like Kanopy and Hoopla, passes to local museums and zoos, and tools for DIY projects. This expansion aims to improve access to information, provide education, and save community members money.
