From camping gear to kitchen supplies, learn from local librarians of Hekman, GRPL, and KDL about borrowing unique items.

Why buy when you can borrow? Libraries in many communities today offer not just books and journals to check out but also collections of every-day useful things like tools, kitchen supplies, etc. - in this panel session, librarians from the Grand Rapids Public Library and Kent District Library systems, as well as Hekman Library, will show you how you can save money and practice a more sustainable life-style by making use of their "Library of Things" collections.

Part of the Hekman Connections learning series, in collaboration with Calvin Sustainability Coordinators.
