Renter’s market

As part of Outside the Lines (http://getoutsidethelines.org), a nationwide initiative to get people back into libraries, the Sacramento Public Library wants public input on what else—besides books—it should rent out. It's launching a program called the Library of Things, which loans out stuff that “people need occasionally or for just one project,” “things people like to ‘try before you buy'” and “things that educate and entertain.” The library already has e-readers, energy meters and 3D printers available for use, but from now through November 14, it's looking for suggestions of other tech devices it should loan out.
