I have to admit, I was one of those people until I visited our local library 
about 5 years ago.  I had no idea they had modernized that much and had all 
those things available.

I used to check out albums back in the day when I was a kid with limited funds. 
 So many albums I used to check out and take home to tape record.  :)

Yes, our local library has a 3D printer that you can sign up to use and many 
other things.  Very cool!  I had no idea.  There might be an occational need to 
print something on a 3D printer and that is a good option since I don't have 
enough justification to buy one for myself.
