No way, who knows what the person before you did or cooked with the appliance. No no no

I think it's a great idea. I have most of the things I need in the kitchen, but I'm pretty fortunate. I don't even check books out, though (talk about germs). I just moved a bunch of books around in the house and got major contact dermatitis.

When you go and take a cooking class, you use their equipment.

I'll bet they're sanitized in a school kitchen somewhere.🤓. Of course, If I borrowed a tool I would wash it well prior to use.

For the things which could be cleaned in the dishwasher

before using...lending items is a good thing.

I guarantee if these things were in Salvation Army

with a $15 price tag slapped on, people would buy.

Like how the Public Library is thinking to expand their ‘marketing.’

Have a ton of cooking books next to the checkout desk...

No thank you. I would think with the rental fees you could probably purchase some of them for your own home.

It’s a Public Library...so no fees.

As long as they are clean, and I would wash them before I used them, I dont see a problem. Well maybe.....what happens if the appliance breaks or quits working while you are using it? Would you be responsible paying for it?

I think it is a great idea for those who have small kitchens with limited space, but the pasta machine would worry me.

Those cannot be washed in the sink or dishwasher. They are just wiped clean and the flour and pasta is brushed off of the blades and teeth. I'd pass on that item.

While I would borrow cooking items from some of my friends, I wouldn’t from those I don’t know. Cooties!

Absolutely!

Many kitchen items are used once or twice a year. In addition, if I really liked an item and thought I would use it often I would look for one to buy.

I assume we are talking non-electric items. Anything hard to clean or electric, then No.

I think it is a great idea - for those that can't afford a KA stand mixer and need to do some baking... or even a hand mixer, blender - appliances are expensive.

In the pic,I see a crepe pan - pasta maker - I have never attempted to do either. It may be a good idea if this is for you before you plunk down money and have it collect dust a week later. Then donated to SA a few years later.

I have seen many post here on buyng treasures at tag sales, this is very similiar.

No! I won't even borrow books from the library because of the ick factor.

unless you live out of their county. In my part of Tx I pay 17 a yr to use the major library. up in Ind it had climbed to 50 ! now, I understand it's even higher since I left up there in 2010

I get my monies worth, though. DVD's, etc.

No I wouldn't check them out. I have alot of what was pictured now that I don't use.
