Ready to tackle a New Year’s project or finally organize that storage room? The regional public library in Kaiserslautern has something to help.

Pfalz Bibliothek launched its new “Library of Things” on Monday, according to its website. The program offers 70 non-book items for checkout, including dollies, hand tools, board games and other household items.

Many items are free to borrow. Those valued at 50 euros or more cost 1 euro to check out, while items worth 200 euros or more require an additional 50 euro deposit.

You can browse the items available for checkout here.
