Announcing the Library of Things

We’re excited to share that the SRSU Library and Archives is launching a Library of Things (LoT) in Eagle Pass and in Alpine. The Library of Things is designed to support academic work and everyday tasks. Because libraries aren’t just for books, this new collection features practical items available for checkout that you might want to try or don’t want to buy – including tech accessories, chargers, and calculators to start.

The new items, now known as Things, are available for checkout at the Front Desks of the Bryan Wildenthal Memorial Library in Alpine and SRSU International Library Services in Eagle Pass (D-129) starting Wednesday, November 5, 2025. Borrowing from the LoT is open to current SRSU students, faculty, and staff.

Learn more about the Library of Things on our website, library.sulross.edu/LoT. From there, find the Library of Things Guide, with a full list of all available Things, their user manuals, and links to their records in QuickSearch.

We’ll plan to grow the Library of Things as we are able. Do you have a recommendation for something we should add? Let us know!
