"Today, many people in cities live in small homes, and they might need a sewing machine only once a year.  So why buy one?

People prefer not to spend their own money when they can access a sewing machine for free, funded through their taxes."

I should note that many libraries here in the US (and around the world, I'd imagine) also go well beyond just lending books.

@stefan for a while I was renting a study room at the library to use as an office, something like five dollars an hour
