my local library recently introduced a library of things and they’ve hit a fucking homer. It’s all either things you need for like 2 weeks out of 5 years (like a machine for laminating paper), expensive hobby stuff you can try out before you drop your own cash on it (like sewing machines or button makers) or full-on throwing a rager equipment (like a karaoke machine). It is such a perfect mix of things to get on a library model. If I ever win the lottery or something I’m buying them a whole makerspace department with staff and all the equipment you could dream of.
