📚✨ The Osterville Village Library*is home to a popular Library of Things—an ever-growing collection of items you can borrow beyond books.
🎲 You’ll find games and puzzles
🎤 A karaoke machine
🎸 Musical instruments like ukuleles and guitars
🧵 Sewing machines
🌱 Soil testers and other garden tools
🚗 Even a car code scanner
The collection has grown over the past 8 years and includes both fun and practical items, with many becoming seasonally popular.
🔄 Borrowing is easy with a library card (some higher-value items may require a credit card on file). Items can be checked out for up to 2 weeks, and there’s no fee unless something isn’t returned.
It’s all about giving the community a chance to try, learn, and explore without needing to buy.
