The Library of Things is a collection of non-traditional library items–“Things”–you can check out, just like a book! This collection complements the Marion Public Library’s mission to ignite possibilities through personal life experiences.

Please take care of “Things” and return them in the same condition you got them. You are responsible for any damaged and/or missing pieces. The Marion Public Library will do our best to provide clean and fully functional equipment, but we cannot provide extensive technical or mechanical assistance. If you encounter any unforeseen hardware or software failure, please bring the “Thing” to our checkout desk and describe the problem(s) you experienced.
We can pull materials for you! If you would like us to help find themed materials or read-alikes, fill out this form and we’ll get back to you!
Please note: 3-5 days notice is required for material requests. Staff will put items on hold for patrons to pick up, and patrons will be notified as items become available.
