Library of Things
Salem Public Library’s Library of Things (LOT) offers you the chance to check out a variety of useful items. Some are items that most people need to use only once or rarely. Some allow you to “try before you buy” if you are considering a purchase. The Library of Things supports a larger goal to reduce, reuse, and recycle in our community.
The Library of Things is a new project, funded by the Materials Management Grant Program from the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality.
Available items are displayed on the Library of Things shelves on Floor 1 at the Main Library, 585 Liberty St. SE.
