The kits may be checked out using an adult patron’s library card for a loan period of 7 days. Kits can not be placed on hold.

Included in the kit is a short printed survey and a link to the same survey online.
We encourage you to complete this survey when you are ready to return the kit – your feedback will help the library to better serve our community.
The kits were purchased with a grant from the Myrtle Dee Nash Memorial Fund of Community Foundation of Tompkins County.
