Libraries Borrow Tools Not Just Books | Columbia News

Richland Library just dropped a game-changer: their “Library of Things” is now live at all 13 branches, letting you borrow everything from pressure washers and sewing machines to SC State Park passes—saving you cash and space. Launched in 2019, it’s already racked up $3.4 million in community savings, proving libraries are way more than books. Each branch tailors its collection to local demand—like Mah Jong kits, born from one listener’s suggestion and wildly popular. Check out RichlandLibrary.com/LibraryOfThings to see what’s available near you and how to reserve. Libraries are evolving—and this is how they’re doing it.
