Cologne’s city library offers a practical little “library of things” alongside its books, allowing people to borrow outdoor games and leisure equipment rather than buy them. I think that it’s a rather sensible arrangement, especially for items people may only use occasionally, and it helps turn the library into a wider community resource. A very nice little idea.
