24 Apr Green Week: Outdoor Tools and Toys in the Library of Things
Are you looking to “go green” or spend more time outside in 2025? Our Library of Things has a variety of items to help you out! We’ve highlighted a few items we think are cool below, but don’t forget to check out the complete list of outdoor games, tools, and more on the PGTPL Library of Things webpage.
- Want to ride your bike to the library but don’t have a bike lock? Use one of ours! We have three available to secure your bike while you’re at PGTPL.
- Ready to work up a sweat with family and friends? Our badminton set will have you moving all afternoon!
- “Fun for kids, teens, or adults to play at the park, in the yard, while camping, or on a traditional court. Net measures 20′ x 2′, with adjustable height poles.”
- Need a less-active outdoor game? With the GoSports Giant Wooden Playing Dice Set, dice-based games such as Rollzee and Farkle move from the table to the ground.
- “Includes a double-sided dry-erase scoreboard with Farkle on one side and Rollzee on the other.”
- Looking for lost coins in your backyard? Checking for metal stakes that grass has grown over? Try the Bounty Hunter TK4 Tracker IV metal detector to search faster.
- “Find treasure in your backyard! The Tracker IV will detect all kinds of metal, from iron relics, coins, and household items to precious metals like silver and gold. Recommended for coin and jewelry hunting, relic hunting, prospecting, and utility applications.”
- “The stylish Bounty Hunter metal detector will detect the presence of metals, including gold, silver, brass, aluminum, iron, and steel. It detects coin-size targets up to 6 inches deep and larger targets up to 2 feet. Streamlined in appearance, with only two operating controls and a mode selection switch (discrimination, all-metal, and 2-tone audio), the Tracker IV has eliminated the most difficult aspect of metal detector operation: Ground Balancing. With built-in Automatic Ground Trac, the Tracker IV balances for mineralization while you detect. The Tracker IV will detect metal in extreme ground conditions from salt-wet beaches to highly mineralized inland sites with no operator adjustments to the circuitry and no loss of sensitivity.”
- Just because the sun has set doesn’t mean it’s time to go inside! Use the Vankyo Leisure 3 Home Theater Projector to watch movies and play video games on the side of a building, or pair it with our projector screen for maximum portability.
- “The VANKYO Leisure 3 projector is fit for playing videos, TV series, photos, etc. It can also connect easily with your PS3, PS4, X-Box ONE, or Wii to enjoy BIG games. It provides a watching size from 32” to 170” with a projection distance between 4.9 ft to 16.4 ft. A projection distance of about 6.5 ft is the recommended viewing distance.”
- “Smartphone connections are available. A Lightning to HDMI adapter is needed when connecting to an iPhone, and a Micro USB/Type C to HDMI adapter is required when connecting to an Android phone.”
