  Libraries don’t cost.

    My library has a power tools wing. Also a seasonal seeds section. They have gotten very fancy.

        Definitely. A couple of the librarians have been like family friends for I don’t know how long anymore, and they keep adding new programs. I keep hearing from them how things are not great at our library (things aren’t great at libraries anywhere I hear), but then they keep spearheading projects like the tool and seed libraries, getting them added, and I can’t help but think our local library is one of the better ones. We don’t have 3d printing but I hope we will soon.

    You pay for them through taxes.
