A new kind of library has opened in several cities around the world: a “library of things.” Instead of books, it lends tools, kitchen machines, camping equipment, and even musical instruments. The idea is simple. Most people use a drill for only a few minutes a year, so why should every home buy one? Members pay a small yearly fee and can borrow items for one or two weeks. The libraries also offer repair evenings, where volunteers help people fix broken items instead of throwing them away. Supporters say these libraries save money, reduce waste, and bring neighbors together. Critics worry that items often come back damaged and that the libraries depend too much on volunteers. Still, the number of such libraries keeps growing every year.
