#RhodeIsland - Help yourself to the ‘#LibraryOfThings’ - Books are just the beginning of what you can borrow at your local #library

By Michelle Mercure, December 20, 2024

"Sara Griffin, youth librarian at #RogersFreeLibrary in #BristolRhodeIsland, said the library is building its own 'library of things,' including items like ghost-hunting kits, metal detectors, electric drills, and leaf blowers. She hopes the collection will continue to grow over time."

[...]

"While many libraries are introducing self-checkout options, #WestWarwickRI is meeting current needs of the community by integrating a #FoodPantry, Barrington is working on a strategic plan for future changes, and Rogers Free Library has ambitions to add a sensory garden. Each library emphasized that community input plays a key role in determining new offerings and shaping their evolving spaces."
