What do cake pans, board games and snowshoes have in common? You may not immediately think of a library, but
that’s the right answer because you may soon be able to check out each item and more at your local library.
This fall, eight Clackamas County libraries are opening their own ’Library of Things,’ a collection of non-standard, but useful items available for checkout that can range from a violin to a soiltesting kit. The involved libraries are Canby, Estacada, Lake Oswego, Milwaukie, Oregon City, Sandy & Hoodland, West Linn and Wilsonville. “Each library is developing its own unique collection based on a public survey conducted in January,” said Rick Peter-son, manager at West Linn Public Library. “We received almost 4,000 survey responses among all the libraries.”
Overall, survey results showed people are interested in a wide array of things, but the highest-rated categories were arts and crafts, home equipment and media technology, and recreational and outdoor items. Milwaukie residents are particularly eager to check out home and garden equipment, while Estacada residents are excited for event and party supplies.
“A Library of Things supports lifelong learning and brings people together over new experiences,” Peterson said. “It also provides access to experienc-es that may be out of reach for some people because of money, space or other issues.”
Library of Things promotes sustainable communities A Library of Things also promotes sustainable communities. People can check out a seasonal cake pan rather than owning one, borrow clamps so they can repair a piece of furniture rather than throw it away, or check out a guitar to play with before deciding whether to buy one. “The things we buy cost far more than the price on the tag,” said Stacy Ludington with the Clackamas County Sustainability and Solid Waste program, which supports the project. “Land, water, fossil fuels and more are used to produce the items we buy, leading to environmental costs we often don’t think about.Sharing items helps to reduce this environmental impact.” Learn more about the Library of Things by visiting www.lincc.org, and make sure to check in with your local library for the opening day announcement. https://www.clackamas.us/pga/clackco.html
