Library of Things
A library of things is any collection of objects loaned, and any organization that practices such loaning. Objects often include kitchen appliances, tools, gardening equipment and seeds,[1] electronics,[2] toys and games, art,[3] science kits, craft supplies, musical instruments, and recreational equipment such as sports and outdoors gear.[4] Especially appropriate are objects that are useful occasionally but cumbersome to store, such as specialized cookware or niche technology items.[5] Collections vary widely, but go far beyond the books, journals, and media that have been the primary focus of traditional libraries.[6]

These are so amazing. For anyone needing something, checkout your local libraries, especially if you have a college/university within range.
I offer some really fun stuff at mine: telescope, DnD campaign kits, bike repair tools, sewing machine, cpr/aed training kit, and more. The university near me has all kinds of equipment, including soldering kits. You can even make an appointment to use their water cutter!
Kitchen tool loans make SO much sense. Shocked I hadn't seen one of these before, so cool.
I thought the thumbnail showed fancy pastries on a plate. Imagine my disappointment.
