USA
Libraries-of-things
100% Trade Free (minus exceptions)
Unlike the UK where most of the “libraries of things” are bogus libraries where they charge for the “lending” (and have no books), in the USA, they are really 100% trade free. Most are public libraries that have expanded to lend all kinds of objects to other books.
