Library of Things: Canning and Preserving Equipment
Silver Falls Library’s Library of Things (LOT) offers you the chance to check out a variety of useful items. Some are items that most people need to use only once or rarely. Some allow you to “try before you buy” if you are considering a purchase.
The LOT Canning and Preserving Equipment was provided and funded by a grant received by the Oregon State University Extension Service. Go to the Silver Falls Library Reference Desk to checkout items in this collection. You will need to sign LOT User Agreement and Waiver forms before checkout.
