The collection allows patrons to borrow items they may only need once or twice, and it provides the opportunity to try a product before buying it. The available items include musical instruments, baking pans, and hotspots. In addition, American Girl dolls and Tonie toys, as well as puzzles and games, have been available for the last decade, and metal detector kits and blood pressure cuffs will be added soon. See Library pg 2 Baking pans are among the items available in the Library of Things.
