The Library of Things is a collection of items for loan that expands the traditional definition of library materials.These items will be available to check out by permanent Montrose Regional Library card holders. Items will include a sewing machine, gardening tools, board games, a ukulele, a disc golf set, and other useful and fun objects.
Equipment is used at the sole risk of the borrower. The Library makes no representation or warranty as to the fitness for use or condition of the items. Borrowers are responsible for reading and abiding by all manufacturer’s recommendations, warnings, and instructions for use.
Equipment must be returned to the Library, return in the book drops is discouraged. Items must be returned intact, clean, in working order, and complete (including all accessories, parts, manuals, and packaging provided when borrowed). As with all library materials, borrowers are responsible for the care of the item and any supplemental materials. If any of the Library’s property is lost or damaged, borrowers agree to provide the cost of a repair or replacement.
Some items are only available for checkout by patrons 18 years or older due to safety concerns. If under 18, a parent or guardian must sign the waiver and be present to check out the item. The Library reserves the right to take equipment out of circulation temporarily to support a library program or for repair or maintenance. Library staff may limit the number of repeat loans of a specific item to one household in the interest of ensuring fair access for all library patrons.
A valid library card with no outstanding fines and no lost or billed items is required for checkout. All borrowers must sign a liability waiver.
