How The Library Works
1️⃣ Yours for at least 3 months
The kit is guaranteed to be with you for a minimum of three months. Explore, experiment and have fun!
2️⃣ Please take care of it
Handle the boards gently, keep them away from static and liquids, and keep everything together in the bag.
3️⃣ Be ready to pass it on
At some point, we will ask you to send the kit on to the next person in the library.

Feel free to take one of the sticker packs and keep it. That one is yours forever!
