      My mind was blown when I realized my library gives you $3/day of free printing (@10c/page). I will never pay to print anything again, since I mostly have random 1 off things to print every once in a while.

        Same. I could have saved a dozen dollars if I knew this. Not a lot, but a dozen more than zero. I will never pay for printing again 🤩

    A library where I used to live in PA kept small household tools and appliances for checkout. Great for when you need a Kitchenaid mixer three times a year.
