Toys! Our local library has tons of toys to checkout. Been great to give our small child who likes new things for a while a semi-constant stream of new toys, that are in better shape or fancier than the $1 garage sale toys he usually gets. Tools. There's a library-affiliated technology library[0] in the city I live now that has almost anything someone who is a 'maker' could want. And many large town (25-60k towns) libraries have similar, smaller scale departments. [0] http://www.dospace.org/ http://www.dospace.org/
