Blocks and Kits

Peace Library System has many types of materials that it loans on request to libraries to supplement their own collections on a temporary basis. The items are lent in blocks or kits as a single unit. We also coordinate equipment rentals for outreach activities. 

Book Blocks -   Books in various formats and genres to supplement the collections of member libraries.

Storytime Kits - Kits of picture books and puppets to supplement Storytime programs. 

Programming Kits - Kits of fun and innovative technology for programming. Member libraries can use them to try our new technology before purchasing and to offset programming costs. 

Equipment - Equipment rentals for events and outreach activities.
