Library of Things Policy

A Library of Things (LOT) is a collection of non-traditional circulating items. A collection of this nature provides access to items people may not be able to purchase and reduces waste and consumption of items needed infrequently. In addition, LOT fosters learning, increases accessibility, promotes social engagement, provides entertainment, and aligns with the Library’s mission statement and strategic goals.

Library of Things items may be borrowed by Franklin Square Public Library cardholders with accounts in good standing. Patrons who borrow LOT items agree to abide by this policy and the current reservation and borrowing guidelines. The Library reserves the right to monitor and regulate usage to ensure fair access to the greatest number of patrons.

The Library assumes no responsibility of any kind arising out of use of LOT. By taking possession of any item, the patron is certifying that they are capable of using that item in a safe and responsible manner. All LOT items are to be returned in the same condition as they were checked out. Upon return, LOT will be inspected by staff and will remain on the Patron’s account until determination that all components have been returned in working order. Patrons agree to pay for the loss of or damage to any item. Replacement charges may vary.

Library of Things items must be returned to a staff member at the Circulation Desk. LOT items circulate for 7 days. A fee of $5 per day will be charged to the borrower for items returned late with a maximum fine of $24. Borrowers are responsible for the replacement costs of lost and/or damaged items.

  • A valid Franklin Square Library card in good standing must be presented at checkout to pick up reserved item
  • Items may not be renewed

  • A late fee of $5 per day will be assessed, with a maximum fine of $100
  • All Library of Things borrowed must be returned during the library’s open hours to a staff member at the Circulation Desk
  • Items will be inspected upon return. Patron agrees to responsibility for missing, damaged or incomplete parts
