Lend More Than Books With a Library of Things
Not everything needs to be bought and used once. A library of things lets your community borrow tools, tech, instruments, and more, cutting down on waste and giving people a reason to come back to the library beyond books. It builds on the same locker technology as Smart Hold and Smart Charge Lockers, so it's easy to add once either is already in place.
Available in the UK and US.
What Belongs in a Library of Things
A library of things works best when it reflects what your community actually needs to borrow, not just what fits on a traditional bookshelf.
Electronics and Tech, Charged and Ready to Borrow
Cameras, projectors, GoPros, and other equipment that needs to stay charged between loans fit naturally into a Smart Charge locker, so patrons collect something that's ready to use.
Tools, Instruments, and More to Borrow
From power tools to musical instruments to board games, anything that fits a compartment can move through the same holds and pickup lockers already used for books. Compartment sizes range from small drawers to large bays, so oversized or oddly shaped equipment has a spot too.
Built on the Same Locker Technology
A library of things isn't a separate system. Instead, it runs on the same locker technology from our Smart Hold and Smart Charge solutions.
One Locker System for Everything You Lend
Because a library of things runs on Smart Hold and Smart Charge lockers, pickup and return work the same no matter what's inside. That makes it easy to offer alongside hold or charging lockers, expanding what patrons can borrow while keeping maintenance and processes simple.
Bringing New Visitors to the Library
Items outside the usual collection, tools, tech, instruments, bring in patrons who might not otherwise stop by for a book, and give existing members another reason to come back.
