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.
