Not poster but northeast US in the more populated areas seem to have better stocked libraries. Mine has music, movies, board games, and a whole bunch of random equipment for stuff like research or cooking or building. Microscopes and knitting sets and pasta makers, construction equipment etc.
This library is in Indiana and still has one. My local one, also in Indiana, has one too. They both have maker spaces as well. The one here has free large format printing, 3D printing, sewing machines… some other things too that escape me now.
Where are you where you have those options? Id love to be able to checkout tools at the library.
Illinois, in a suburb northwest of Chicago.
They have so much to borrow totally free. So many people think of libraries as just books, but they often are so much more.
This is pretty common in most blue states.
