I found out today my library has a Makers Room where they have a Cricut and 2 D3 printers.  You can email them the file for something you want made by the 3D printer and they will make it.  In the summer they are hoping to have classes so anyone can certify to use the machines.

Plus touring the Makers Room meant I visited the floor that has the children's section.  It is huge.

Same here for 3D printers. Plus the ability to rent GoPro cameras. And audiobooks, ebooks, comics, tv shows, movies, music on Hoopla, Libby, Kanopy, etc. Access subscription based sites such as WSJ and Consumer Reports and Chilton Manuals for no charge. Plus free classes. My kids took a 6 week class on public story telling, taught by a veteran competition-winning story teller. They learned how to distill a story to its elements, use actions and voice to enhance emotions, project, and get public speaking confidence. They provide homework help too and online classes.

Your library sounds amazing! Would love to take that story telling class.
