To Health and Wellness - Add a Pulse Oximeter and Home Glucose Test analyzer with strips, stethoscope, old bulb type thermometer, scalpel, hemostat & wooden tongue depressor. For kitchen gadgets you HAVE to have a "church key" (can/bottle opener) and a hand can opener, plus hand mixer, measuring cups and spoons, spatula and meat fork. Hobbies- a little coin collection, it doesn't have to be fancy or expensive one but one with several coins from different eras and maybe also a couple of Canadian and Mexican coins. Games - make sure you get the classic ones -- Checkers, Chess, Chinese Checkers, Backgammon, Monopoly, Life, Master Mind, Trivial Pursuit, Parcheesi, Dominos, Card games, with an Old Maid showing, a Poker royal flush or Aces and Eights (dead man's hand for historical reasons) and find a card from a "Go Fish" deck, maybe a small picture of a Bridge "dummy" hand. For tool display, do not forget the very basics -- Hammer, screwdriver, pliers, hand drill, adze, block plane, framing square (even a small 6" one would do), draw knife, hand sickle, sharpening stone, chisel, hand saw, awl plus needle and thread (the needle is a type of wedge), couple of different types of clamps, maybe even Aboriginal stone/Obsidian scraper and stone hand axe. As it is in a Library, I would suggest a printing press but that is too large! Maybe a nib pen and empty but painted inside black ink bottle? What "tool" has had more influence on society than the pen and ink, & follow-on printing press?

Congratulations, Christine! You are doing awesome things at our library! ❤️
