The Merrimac Public Library’s Collection of Things is a circulating collection of non-traditional materials. You can borrow a sewing machine, a metal detector or even a cricut machine. Take our Things home to start a project, or test out the equipment before you invest in your own, or borrow a game for your next party.
Currently the library has over 35+ items in the collection and it’s always changing so make sure to come back to see what’s new.
