Library of Things

Did you know the library offers more than just books? Our Library of Things collection lets you borrow useful, fun, and educational items—just like you would a book! This collection is designed to help you try before you buy, explore new hobbies, complete projects, or simply enjoy something new without the cost of purchasing items you may only need once.

Our Library of Things was made possible through funding from the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) via its Grants to States program. This funding was awarded as part of a collaborative grant with Epsom Public Library, Josiah Carpenter Library in Pittsfield, and Pembroke Town Library. The grant was supported by the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 and administered by the New Hampshire State Library.
What can you borrow?
See the list below for available items.
Stop by the library or call us at 603-942-5472 to learn more about our collection--
we’re happy to help you find the right “thing” for your next project or adventure!
