This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

A friend of mine shared this receipt from her local library which shows how much money she's saved by using it. (lemmy.world)

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.
