Like I said in another comment here, it’s unfortunate how so many people don’t realize that libraries are truly and seriously community centers. They provide so much more than books
Yes! The library in my hometown has a 3D printer that my cousin runs and maintains. It’s super neat. She is the head librarian, but she takes online tickets with the STL file, slices it, prints it, finishes it, and puts the print in a basket in the front of the library. You use your library card to then check it out. :)
3D printing isn’t the most useful tech right now, but, it’s an excellent first step towards the development of a cottage industry built around just making parts to repair random things in a house and encourage reuse.

EDIT: Many nowadays even provide 3D printing
