Some let you straight up borrow consoles, kitchen supplies, tools, etc. The central library in Los Angeles has a 3D printer and podcasting studio, among others.
My library doesn’t do console loans but it does have a dedicated maker’s space with 3D printers, a laser cutter, sewing machines, and other assorted stations. No real heavy stuff though, so no power tools or wood-working stuff sadly. It does have an HTC Vive complete with full lightbox set up for people to use, though.
Borrowing DVDs is absolutely still a thing. Hell, now you can even borrow console games from your library. I do it all the time.

Libraries are the fucking best.
