The Community Collections consist of objects shared from local community residents and organizations. Individuals have lent items of local significance to the library to give the larger community awareness and access. The original objects are not owned by the Lexington Public Library.

We consider item age, location, content, relevance, privacy considerations, and item condition when determining items to add.
