Library of Things
Our Library of Things collection will assist with bridging the accessibility divide for collections that need specific players to be listened to, watched, or played.
The collection currently consists of one Blu-ray player, one portable Blu-ray/DVD player, one portable discman, one small portable CD player with speakers, one Nintendo Switch Lite, and three Roku devices with hundreds of movies loaded on to the Vudu app.
This new collection can be reserved via this link. All items in this collection can be checked out and returned at the Multimedia Desk.
