This is interesting due to the concept of Oodi being totally different from most libraries and only to some extent fitting the definition of a library [1].
Oodi is more of a living meeting place for people where you can play board games, video games, make art, 3D prints, music and such. It might be dubbed as a library to ensure that its visitors have a vague understanding of the place i.e. it's free to use all the services and open to anyone.
[1] "A library is a curated collection of sources of information and similar resources.." as per Wikipedea https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Library https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Library
