TIL my local library lends out a 35mm SLR and a light meter for 3 weeks at a time

Stopped by the branch on Oak Street in Portland just to kill time with the kids and saw a glass case with a Pentax K1000 and a Sekonic meter you can check out with a library card. I always figured film gear was a buy in or borrow from a friend kind of thing, so this feels like a huge win for trying cameras before I spend money on them. Has anyone else run into a library or tool lending spot that does this with old cameras?
