TIL the library in my town has a 'Library of Things' with tools you can borrow

Checked out a pressure washer for a weekend project and saved the $75 it would have cost to rent one. Anyone know if other libraries do this or have a similar local hack?

Saving 75 bucks sounds good until you think about it. That pressure washer was probably used on someone's gross driveway last week. Public libraries should stick to books, not become a free hardware store for people who can't plan ahead. My local library can't even keep new releases in stock, so this feels like a waste of tax money on a fad.

My library's pressure washer gets cleaned with bleach after every loan.

Our library's tool loans cut waste and build community.
