Brunswick library lets patrons borrow more than 1,500 gadgets and tools
The #LibraryOfThings in #BrunswickME offers tools, toys, appliances, and more for residents to use for their occasional needs.
Author: Christian Harsa
Published: 7:23 PM EST November 8, 2025BRUNSWICK, Maine — "There are plenty of things people buy, use once, then never find a need for again. It may be a pasta maker gathering dust or a steel drum long forgotten, but those tools and others can be found at the #CurtisMemorialLibrary in Brunswick all for free.
"The idea comes in part from the library's dedication to #sustainability.
"Kelly McElligott, a librarian and manager at the library, explained more about the Library of Things while indexing a shelf full of tools, safety equipment, and other #DIY gadgets.
" 'You may just need to use it only one time, and you can borrow it from us without having to purchase it,' she said.
"McElligott has borrowed from the Library of Things occasionally, too. In fact, she said she once checked out the popover tins for some baking and likes to peruse the conversation starter cards.
"The collection of goods also came in handy when her basement flooded.
" 'I got one of the industrial fans and let it blow for days and hope that fixed it,' she said with a chuckle.
"Built up over a few years, the Library of Things offers the residents of Brunswick and #HarpswellME access to items they may not want to buy but still need. Plus, for a fee, residents from other communities can check out things, too.
"From those who need a KitchenAid mixer or are hoping to become a #DIYFixer, the Curtis Memorial Library has more than 1,500 items, plus some informational classes too.
" 'We did a #DIYPlumbing class, and then we bought the equipment you would need that were talked about in the program so you then you could go home and say, 'I can fix that myself,' McElligott said."
