Beyond the Shelf is a collection of non-traditional materials including tools, games, kits, electronics, gadgets and more — all available to check out for free with a library card. Need something for a one-time project or want to try before you buy? Explore the collection and discover your next new Thing to borrow!

The PCCL has created a collection of items to be used by everyone to pursue their interests, further their education, and provide entertainment.  Sharing, conservation of resources and the idea that you don’t have to have everything you need in your home are key to the idea of a central collection that everyone can use.  The PCCL has been adding to our traditional library resources and currently has multiple Beyond the Shelf collections for you to borrow.

Mobile hotspots are available to check out at all PCCL locations.  To borrow a hotspot, patrons must be 18+ and in good standing with the library.

The purpose of the Mobile Hotpot lending collection is to provide patrons greater access to the Internet away from the library and to further the Library's mission to provide resources to serve the informational, educational, and recreational needs of the public.
