"A community library that built a 20‑pan cake pan collection from staff and public donations supplemented by a few purchases and now circulates specialty pans such as a “Bake’n Fill” pan, teddy bear‑shaped and Barbie‑brand pans, and a popular Sesame Street Elmo face pan. To manage storage and sanitation, the pans are kept behind the circulation desk; patrons browse a binder of notecards in the children’s section, bring a notecard to the desk to check out a pan, and receive instructions recommending washing the pan before and after use." - Emma Grillo
