How the Lending Library Works
-
Fill out the linked form and let us know:
- Which materials you want to borrow, and how many copies
- If you're picking them up from one of our Lending Library locations or would like them mailed to you. Please note that we are only able to mail within the state of Kansas.
- We prepare the materials and send you an email when they're ready for pickup OR have been put in the mail.
- You return the materials (either in person or via mail––you are responsible for return mailing costs) to one of our Lending Library locations after two weeks.
Borrowing our materials is free, BUT by borrowing the materials, you agree to pay a replacement fee of $75 IF the materials are not returned on time OR in good condition (undamaged, and with all components).
