Borrow, Don’t Buy

Why buy when you can borrow? Borrow useful non-traditional "things" for your home, hobbies, projects and summer adventures. Cake pans, fishing poles, board games, tools, and more! Visit your local library to see their Library of Things.

Here are a few of the items you can find at libraries in Fond du Lac, Green Lake, Marquette, Waushara and Winnebago counties.
