Explore our growing collection of non-traditional items available at the Main Library. These materials are for valid Palatine cardholders only.
Library of Things
We have a collection of unique and nontraditional items to check out. Consider borrowing one instead of purchasing something you may not use very often and help reduce wasted resources.
Cameras
We have three kinds of cameras available:
- Digital Still Cameras
- Digital Camcorders
- GoPros
Borrow cameras for one week from the Welcome Desk.
STEAM Kits
Check out STEAM Kits and explore a variety of science, technology, engineering, and math topics. Kits include hands-on activities, learning games, or scientific equipment.
Kindles
Borrow a Kindle reader preloaded with best-selling titles from our Readers Assistance Desk. Keep a Kindle for three weeks; renew it if no one is waiting.
Roku
Borrow a Roku for two weeks to stream movies and TV shows from Netflix, Vudu, and more.
