Mildly Interesting

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Libraries also have movies and games!

Also a lot of libraries have other stuff you can check out! Tools, sewing machine, printer, photo scanner etc!

We scanned hundreds of old photos in minutes with the thousand dollar value equipment at our library totally for free! It was really cool! Ours has all kinds of equipment for converting old media to digital.

Plus these huge satellite maps of our city from the past, it's like a 3.5'x3ft book of aerial photos. Idk what you'd need that for, but it was fun to look through them!
