What's the coolest thing your library has available to check out? (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

Inspired by me learning that I can check out solar panels (hiking sized, not house sized) at the library.

Not able to checkout, but my local library has a tiny maker space you can go in and use. It includes some crafting supplies, a sewing machine and a 3D printer. For using the 3D printer they have a stamp card you pay for at the start for hours of printing. It's not expensive, it's there mostly to help pay filament and prevent people from doing super long prints without thinking about it. For checking out they have movie and series DVDs and board games
