Library of Things – Explore what else you can borrow!
The Library of Things is a growing collection of practical, educational, and everyday items that Oakville Public Library cardholders can borrow. The collection includes items for outdoor adventures, learning at home, wellness, and family activities, all free with your library card.
Borrowing Made Easier
Library of Things items fall into three borrowing options:
- Rapid Returns – Borrow for 7 days | No holds | No renewals
- Weekly Wonders – Borrow for 7 days | Holds allowed | Up to 5 renewals
- Everyday Explorers – Borrow for 21 days | Holds allowed | Up to 5 renewals
What’s New
- Popular items like Wi-Fi hotspots, park passes, and sports kits can now be placed on hold.
- You can pause or manage holds online if your plans change.
- Most items can be returned to any branch (The exception: Rapid Returns must be returned to the same location from which items are borrowed).
