Do you know about The Library of Things at the Mansfield/Richland County Public Library?
The Library of Things is a collection of non-traditional library items that complement the MRCPL’s mission to offer engaging and relevant experiences for people of all ages, supporting a vibrant quality of life. In particular, its purpose is to provide diverse opportunities for learning and engagement.
