"A new service from the Sacramento Public Library will let you borrow more than books – much more. The California-based library is now offering a variety of other items to lend out, such as musical instruments, sewing machines, electronics and games.

Located inside Sacramento Public Library’s Arcade location, the library also offers 3D printers and scanners for public use, and they even have a bike-repair station.

According to their website, to borrow an item you must be at least 18 years old, unless borrowing a video game. Customers can browse the online catalog and place holds on items that they want to take out. Once the item becomes available, the borrower first in line can pick the item up.…"

Woke up at dawn to crashing thunder, it started pouring! A little over 6/10". It smells fresh, starting to rain again right now. There are so many good and gratifying things about this after such a long and horrible dry spell…

This was an NBC TV special recorded live June 26, 1968. The small crowd is great for his connection with the audience. He's so comfortable. Boy was he cute!
