Why buy when you can borrow?
That’s the idea behind the Carmel Clay Public Library’s (CCPL) Gadget Collection. Library cardholders can borrow any of dozens of gadgets for one week, just like they would books.
Gadgets include things like a telescope, radon detector, VHS to DVD converter, stud finder, soil tester, bike repair kit, crochet needle kit, Wi-Fi projector, portable air compressor, and even hiking poles.
The Reporter found this fascinating, and we thought our Carmel readers should know there is more than books to check out at CCPL.
