We have books and so much more!

IVPL's Library of Things is here! Borrow a telescope, projector and screen, lawn games, a drill, a metal detector, cake pans, and more!

 

​

Search through our list of "things" and reserve ahead of time online, or stop in to our Pennsylvania Room and see what is available.

​

Items from the Library of Things can be borrowed for up to three weeks, unless there is a prior reservation during those three weeks.

​

Certain specialty items may have a shorter check out period.
