How do you decide what you are adding to the Lending Library?

ssiegfried — 2025-03-20 14:11:17 UTC

We have various factors we evaluate. The main factor is what is currently being utilized and whether we feel districts would borrow the items we are reviewing.

I have missing pieces or broken pieces.

We review through the items prior to your pickup. Due to the nature of items frequently being borrowed free of charge, there are times this will happen. We do our best to work with our providers to ensure our items are of high quality. Please do not attempt to dismantle and repair items.
