A friend's daughter wants to learn sewing and my friend is struggling financially and can't afford a machine. I checked at BPL [they live in BK] and of course with a library card you can check out a sewing machine. www.bklynlibrary.org/library-of-t...

I borrowed a sewing machine from my library last year. It was awesome!

Libraries are the load-bearing structures of society

You can borrow musical instruments with a library card!? Wow New York is still amazing sometimes

If your friend's daughter gets more into it a lot of people have old sewing machines moldering in basements and in many cases older machines are better than low cost newer ones so it's definitely an ask around situation.

That's a great feature! Brooklyn eh? Tell your friend that if her daughter can complete one project, I have a spare sewing machine she can have.

a friend of mine runs this program she's completely incredible

I love this so much!!! 💗🧵🪡

If your friend's daughter ends up wanting her own machine, thrift stores often have them for very cheap.

They unpaused the holds?! www.bklynlibrary.org/event-series...

Okay that is pretty cool
