WHAT IS A LIBRARY OF THINGS?

Aurora Public Library's newest collection is a "Library of Things."  The collection contains an assortment of physical items that encourage people in trying out or exploring something new, provide small/low-maintenance items that people may need--but only once or twice, and/or offer items for family or friend activities and events.
