Free Library Myth #3

While printed books, ebooks, and audiobooks are the most popular items to check out from the Free Library, a library card opens the door to so much more if you just know where to look!

Some of the more unusual items customers can check out include ties at Paschalville Library, baking equipment at McPherson Square Library, and yes—even musical instruments, available from the Music Department at Parkway Central Library.

For a complete list of things you may not realize a library card can get you, read more!


Our #FLPMyths social media series will attempt to dispel several library-related myths, and explain the truth behind these common misconceptions. Follow along on Facebook and Twitter over the next month, and of course, here on the blog!
