Library of Things-Recommend the Additional Services to the Libraries
Dear All,
Let us talk about something extensive things/services to augment with libraries. It is known as Library of Things.
In general, Wikipedia narrates this term as "Library of Things describes non-traditional collections that are being loaned by libraries, and can include kitchen appliances, tools, gardening equipment and seeds, electronics, toys and games, art, science kits, craft supplies, musical instruments, recreational equipment, and more. These new types of collections vary widely, but go far beyond the books, journals, and media that have been the primary focus of library collections in the past".
Now, libraries are not the only place with books and journals, users(member) must get something else from other lists of desired things like daily use tools, electronic gadgets, public talk, games, organizing events, fixing the things etc.
So let us recommend or mention/list the things which you as a librarian would wish you start in your library or you want to recommend.
We can't tell what is feasible for all the libraries but together we can share the list of feasible things can be applied in libraries as per the local strengths.
Thank you.
