Library of Things Catalog

Take a look at the items available for loan from the Plainsboro Library of Things!

‘Things’ may only be borrowed by Plainsboro cardholders ages 18 and up. When placing holds, please make sure that the hold is placed on the account of the adult picking up the item!
‘Things’ have a loan period of 3 weeks and cannot be renewed.
Each account may only have 1 ‘Thing’ checked out at a time.
‘Things’ can be placed on hold, or checked out directly through our Plainsboro Library of Things stand on the 1st floor by the fax machine. Users have 5 days after a hold becomes available to pick it up.
‘Things’ must be borrowed and returned at the front desk of the Plainsboro Public Library, with a staff member.
We strongly encourage picking up and returning ‘Things’ at least half an hour before the library closes. Thank you very much!
