I am quite sure I have saved 10’s of thousands of dollars in the past few years using my local library and I have never checked out a book.
My local library lends tools, telescopes, microscopes and equipment for bands (amps, lights, mics, speakers, etc).
I check out the FLIR thermal imaging camera at least a few times a year for one thing or another, the last few months to help me find animals living in the walls of the old farmhouse my partner and I purchased.
Go Ann Arbor District Library!!
