Wright Library's Library of Things offers a variety of activities, equipment, tools, and kits to try something new, learn or develop a skill, accomplish practical tasks, make someone a gift, or discover a new hobby. 

“It’s important for the library to make activities and experiences available at no cost to its patrons,” said Brian Potts, Operations Coordinator for Wright Library.

The catalog includes learning kits, home safety tools, musical instruments, stylized cake pans, ROKU streaming devices, and Doorway to Dayton activity passes for free admission to the Boonshoft Museum, Dayton Art Institute, Dayton History at Carillon Park, and other Dayton attractions.

Many items from the Library of Things were made available with support from the Wright Memorial Library Foundation.

Wright Library patrons with a library card in good standing for 60 days are eligible to borrow from the Library of Things. Patrons must also complete a one-time Library of Things waiver, which can be downloaded from the library’s website, printed, signed, and returned to the library with library card or photo ID. 
 

A Wright Library card helps you do more of what you enjoy.
