Library of Things

Library of Things is a collection of unique items for loan. From educational children's kits to borrowing outdoor equipment, our Library of Things collection gives the library members the opportunity to borrow unique items without financial investment. All you need is a library card!

The Library of Things is available to borrow to any Town of Hanna or Special Areas resident with a library card.

All items MUST be returned to the Hanna Municipal Library.

Holds: As we are unable to interlibrary loan these items out to other libraries, they are not displayed in the online catalogue. Items cannot be placed on hold, but you can call the Library to see if they are available.

Waiver: Patrons will be required to sign a waiver to borrow selected items from the Library of Things Collection.

Loan Period: Items in the Library of Things Collection can be borrowed for 7 days. Items cannot be renewed.
