 Weird things you can check out from a library that have nothing to do with books. A lot of libraries carry super useful items that you can borrow just like you do with a book. At this particular one, you can check out ukulele, laptops, and wi-fi hotspots. Some other items you can check out from libraries include cake bands, sewing machines, jumper cables, power tools, seeds and gardening tools, board games and toys, picnic blankets, umbrellas, and even sound machines. Just make sure to check what your local branch offers because each location varies.
