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

    There’s been a big bump in board games at my library, which I love and I’ve donated to, and one by my sister’s place has a whole tool lending library. Seems super nice for folks that need a power drill once every few years.

      That’s cool. What was your latest find?

      We are going for board games all the time. My son is six and he loves them

        Just found Survive (but the original 1982 one, not the reprint), which we’d played a bunch growing up, and it was perfect to play through a couple games of it for nostalgia’s sake without having to buy a game I wouldn’t actually play much at all beyond that.

          Looks great, gameplay seems interesting and I guess it’s something for my 7yo son, too.

    My library has really good access to online catalogs with ebooks, audiobooks, music, and movies. I rarely come across a fiction book I want to read that isn’t available, all without even having to go into the physical library.

    “Lots of books” may not be the answer you were expecting, but the volume of media they have access to is truly notable compared to any other library system I’ve ever been a member of.

    My library has a banned book clubs for teenagers.

    Books don’t get banned in my country, but they read and discuss books that are banned in other countries.

    Also, you can check out a kill-a-watt to monitor your electricity consumption.
