We habitually spend a lot of time in daily routines, and we hear about cool stuff from the same sources. As such, we tend to lack awareness of things that don’t have the capability to advertise broadly. So, what’s something you expect many people don’t hear about or consider for use in their life?

    It’s common to think of libraries as Public Book Rental, but recently most have expanded their services quite a lot.

    • Rentals of items many households may only need briefly, like tools to find insulation gaps
    • Online services that allow for digital renting of comics, manga, audiobooks, and even streaming services like Kanopy that have both old and new movies/TV shows
    • Printing services; so that you don’t need to buy an ink cartridge for one printout one month, then another 4 months later when that cartridge has dried
    • Tax prep assistance; because fuck Intuit

    Libraries were admittedly the reason I started the thread but I’m also curious what other things will be mentioned.
