FAQ
What is a Library of Things?
Similar to our book collections, a Library of Things (LOT) provides community members with access to a diverse range of borrowable items. The establishment of these collections was a direct response to feedback gathered from our annual Customer Satisfaction Survey. Though we are starting with games, we plan to expand our offerings based on community feedback.
How long can I keep LOT items?
All items check out for 1 week, but you can renew them if another customer does not have a hold on them.
How many items can I check out at one time?
The current limit of items checked out from the LOT is 3 items total.
Can I place a hold on a LOT item?
You can place a hold on items in the same way you place a hold on other materials. Once your hold is fulfilled, you may pick up the item at your designated Mid-Columbia Libraries' branch.
Can I browse LOT items?
All items can be browsed at the Keewaydin Park library located at 405 S. Dayton St. in Kennewick, but you can have items delivered to a branch closer to you by placing a hold on the item.
Where can I find a description about the LOT items?
If you search for the item, you can select details to see more information about an item including a description, target audience, and more.
What if an item I checked out is missing pieces?
Please notify library staff if your item is missing pieces before you return it. Library staff inspect items when they are returned.
What happens if I lose or damage pieces?
Lost or damaged items are the responsibility of the borrower. For more information see our Lost or Damaged Items policy.
