Library of Things at the Sioux City Public Library!
Starting July 1, the Sioux City Public Library will allow resident card holders to borrow from our new Library of Things! A Library of Things gives residents a chance to try something new without investing in it first and promotes sustainability in allowing residents access to seldomly used household items. The Library of Things collection at the Sioux City Public Library will provide new resources for residents to explore areas of interest, try out new leisure activities, and gain access to items where cost or storage space may be an obstacle.
