At the beginning of 2025, San Francisco State University launched their Library of Things. Together with campus partners, we're able to check out child and family focused books and toys, sensory items such as sound machines and fidget toys, board games, puzzles, and Lego sets. In this session we'll discuss why we decided to start a Library of Things and our procedures for securing partnerships and funding. We will also go over various ways to catalog items in Alma. Is a Library of Things right for you? Come find out!
