The Florida Public Library strives to be the local community’s best resource for materials that inform, educate, enrich, and entertain. The library serves patrons of all ages and backgrounds and promotes open and equal access to ideas, programs, and opportunities from early learning, to personal and professional enrichment.

The tools and equipment in our Library of Things collection are for use by patrons 18 years of age or older with a valid library card in good standing from any RCLS member library. Patrons may borrow up to two tools or pieces of equipment at a time. The lending period is 7 days with a late fee of $2 per day. All items must be picked up from the library as well as cleaned and returned to the library during open hours. Florida patrons may reserve items in the collection using the Library’s online catalog (items below are linked to our catalog for your convenience) or by calling the Library at (845) 651-7659. Non-Florida patrons will need to call the library to place a hold.
