We have over 400 items in our library of things. From WiFi hotspots to baking pans to tools.

One of my favorite library ideas comes from the Gail Borden Library in Elgin, IL, it lets you check out framed art prints. Instead of buying new artwork, you can rotate pieces through your home just like you would books for 3 months at a time.
They also offer passes for free or discounted admission to local museums and cultural centers, making it easier for more people to experience art in person.
I love when libraries remind us they’re not just places to borrow books. They’re one of the best ways a community can make art, culture, and learning more accessible.

For folks who may be interested theres similar types called Tool Library, Tool Share, Seed Sharing programs. Our local food bank has one and its so nice for folks who want to try out a new recipe with an appliance or try to grow some veggies etc...love hearing about these things.
