Ours is small yet, due to space constraints-- but our STEM kits and ukuleles have been popular.

Hello, Library Land!

Alma College is considering adding a "Library of Things" to our collection, and we're looking for some input from other small academic libraries.

What items/objects have been of use to your students, faculty, or staff?

Any other input is appreciated as well, such as budgeting, staffing, workflow, organization/shelving, etc...

For those of you wondering what the heck I'm talking about... a library of things is a collection of items that typically fit into categories like hobbies, technology, outdoor activities, games, teaching materials, STEM kits, and much more!

Thanks for all you do,
