Our Library of Things (LoT) collection is filled with hands-on tools, kits, and devices for curious minds of all ages. From microscopes and radon detectors to mini robots, LoT kits are fun, accessible ways to try something new or explore a passion.
View and request kits through our catalogue or see below to learn more about what’s available.
Every Library of Things kit has the potential to inspire.
We’d love to hear what you learned, made, fixed, or explored during your adventure. Share your experience @okanaganlibrary.
