Hi,

On the subject of libraries of various things, there's also "bicycle
libraries". I think the concept is actually a little closer to "leasing at
cost or almost free". For example you pay 10 euro yearly, get a kiddy bike
and switch it for a bigger bike as the kid grows. There's a few mapped
already following this de facto tag:

https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:amenity%3Dbicycle_library

I think it's not needed to push all these things that share the common name
library into the same data model, since all of them are really their own
thing. And it creates an artificial boundary between the common name of the
thing (library, library of things, bicycle library) and the thing itself.

Best,
Joost
