Library of Things Spotlight:

Adapters

The Kirkwood Public Library has many items you can borrow from books to movies, magazines to music. We also loan out a variety of non-traditional library items. We refer to these items as the Library of Things. Each month, we will be highlighting parts of this collection.

Up for March are our collection of adapters. As long as technology have been available there have been different ways of connecting things together. Device ports have shrunk over the years which often requires the need for some kind of adapter to make one thing fit with another.

On some occasions, we only need said adapter once. Not to mention the fact that adapters and specialty cables are not easily found in stores. Well, why spend time and money online for something you may only need once? Well, stop by KPL and check out our collection of adapters. We have adapters for:

• HDMI to Mini/Micro HDMI
• VGA to HDMI
• SD Card Readers
• External DVD / 3.5" Floppy Disk Drives
• Various Apple adapters

View our entire collection of adapters here. And while our selection of adapters is not comprehensive, we welcome suggestions for new additions to the collection. You can use the contact forms on our website to make a suggestion to the Technology dept.
