Lambton County Library is expanding its collection to include new Sports Kits, in an effort to promote health and wellness by encouraging physical activity and learning through play.
There are four separate kits, each one focused on a particular sport, containing basic equipment needed to play the sport.
The four Sports Kits include:
• Basketball: Includes a basketball and pump.
• Pickleball: Includes two paddles and balls.
• Baseball: Includes four bases, a pitcher’s marker, bat, and ball.
• Soccer: Includes a ball, cones, and pump.
Patrons can enjoy a seven-day lending period for each Sports Kit. This timeframe allows them
to explore a new sport at their own pace, practice their skills, or enjoy a friendly game.
“Adding Sports Kits to our library collection helps us address our strategic goals of creating and delivering great experiences to the library’s patrons, and maximizing the value of our collections,” said Darlene Coke, manager, library services. “In recent years, libraries’ traditional collections of books have grown to include other items like binoculars, walking poles and snowshoes. This new addition to our collection allows us to help people learn a new hobby or skill and experience a new sport.”
Sports Kits can be borrowed with a valid Lambton County Library card. Library cards are free for anyone who lives, works, studies, owns property in Lambton County, or is a resident of a First Nations community in Ontario.
