Library of Things

Guidelines for Borrowing and Use

Objects lent out by the Library through its Library of Things program must be checked out from and returned to Prince Memorial Library in Cumberland, ME. A valid Prince Memorial Library card in good standing is required to borrow a Thing. Borrowers of specialty items must be at least 18 years old. At this time only Prince Memorial Library patrons can reserve a Thing.

Loan Periods

In most cases, a Thing may be borrowed for 3-week intervals and renewed once, unless another borrower is waiting. Some exceptions do apply. Things must be returned to the circulation desk during library business hours. Do not place items in the book drop.

Proper Use and Liability

Use care when handling the Thing. The borrower is solely responsible for the Thing and will be billed for reasonable repair or replacement costs associated with damage or loss of Things and/or peripherals due to neglect or abuse. The Library has sole discretion in making these decisions.

Prince Memorial Library is not responsible for any injury, loss, or damage that may occur from use of a Thing.
