Welcome to the Library of Things!
The Library of Things is a collection of non-traditional library items that complement the Pembroke Public Library’s mission to facilitate lifelong learning, spark imagination, and connect with the community. See our guidelines to learn more about borrowing.
The library will collect items of interest to the community. Not all items can be collected, due to space and staff limitations, but suggestions are welcome.
