Did you know that you can borrow a variety of equipment to test various things in your home from our Library of Things collection at WPL? It’s true! Whether you want to test your soil quality for gardening or your water for hardness, or maybe check the noise level of your neighbor’s lawnmower, our equipment can help! Speak with a librarian when we're open (check out our hours and locations here https://www.mywpl.org/?q=locations-hours) to place any of these items on hold or visit https://www.mywpl.org/?q=article/library-things
