Borrow Props

Did you know you can request a set of props be sent to your local library branch for pick-up using your library card?

  • Request props using this form
  • Available props include bells, shaker eggs, scarves, finger puppets and more.
  • The checkout period is 3 weeks with up to 3 renewals.
  • Props come in sets of 20. 
  • Props should be disinfected between uses. (The library will also disinfect them when they are returned). 
  • Request a few different things so you can try them out and see what you like to use.
  • Check out our lists of activities and songs you can do with different props on our YouTube channel

Teachers Sets

Is your teacher requesting books on a specific topic? Any Denver Public Library branch can gather a set of materials (books, audiobooks, DVDs, music CDs) for teachers to check out and use in their classroom. Share this request form with your teacher, and librarians will put a set of books together for them.
