Hey nostr:npub13vvfm5djl3y7y8rjnyw2wg4qyjx6hnkc44cn0rdw06agwc8kktvq8a0sze & any other #librarians out there, a question for you.

I’ve been thinking about the idea of a distributed library lately. A patron could list things (canning supplies, yard tools, books) they’re willing to let other patrons borrow under terms they set (e.g., 3 days max).

I can see issues here (insurance, librarian having to act as mediator if something goes wrong), but it could foster reduced consumption and community building. Curious as to your thoughts or any examples. Thanks!
