We have cake pans but they were just starting to pick up when we closed. I might see if I can drum up more interest. We have telescopes that are really popular, but our other non-book items have been difficult to get off the ground.



What kind of STEAM kits and how are you putting them together?



Thank you

Hello, all--



We recently added STEAM kits to our collection and they are circulating well. This makes us wonder what other non-book/media items patrons would like. Do any of your libraries lend things like interesting cake pans, fishing equipment, or anything like that?



1.  What non-book/media items specifically do you offer?



2.  What items have your patrons been most excited about borrowing?



3.  What problems have you encountered, if any?
