Library of Things

Library of Things

The Library of Things at the Newberg Public Library is a service that offers things for patrons to checkout – from knitting kits to ukuleles. The collection supports lifelong learning and creativity by providing the physical tools necessary to explore new areas of interest and learning of new skills. 

Our Library of Things collection is located on the second floor of the library. Items check out for three weeks.  Holds can be placed through the catalog, but must be picked up and returned at Newberg Public Library. Library of Things items must be returned inside the library and not through the bookdrop or a fee will incur.

Want to make a purchase suggestion, donate a gently used thing, or volunteer to help? Get in touch!
