Equipment
South Central Library System has game packages, as well as computer, audiovisual, and other equipment, that member public libraries can request to borrow for staff training and virtual programs. Equipment is intended for library staff use only. Additional programming resources and equipment are available for Youth Services programs, again for the purpose of virtual programming, for library staff use only.
Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, and resulting concerns about safety and sanitization requirements, some items are currently unavailable for loan to libraries.
Reminders:
- Delivery/SCA will NOT be cleaning/disinfecting kit contents either before sending out or after receiving back. Librarians must let kits sit for at least 4 days before opening. When librarians are ready to return the kit, there is no quarantine time. Please just set it out right away for Delivery drivers to take.
- If anything is wrong with a kit, or if anything is broken, please communicate this directly via phone or email, not via paper notes inside the kit. Kits will NOT be opened by SCLS staff UNLESS notified of a problem, so putting post-its/messages inside the kits is an ineffective means of communication.
