<div dir="ltr">Interesting concept. I don't know that I would use such a service, myself. It just seems like a convenient place to go "shopping" for a used electronic device with a five-fingered discount, for those individuals so inclined to do so!<div>
<br></div><div style>As an alternative, some of the libraries I work with have provided convenient electric outlets at their laptop bars and other areas people often sit while using their devices. The patrons, of course, still need to bring their own chargers. I suppose the libraries could maybe keep some generic USB chargers and maybe some other more common charger types at the desk that patrons could check-out for in-library use.</div>
<div style><br></div><div style>Since charging a device typically takes more than a few minutes, letting the patron check out the charger from the desk and take it to where THEY want to be within the library seems a little safer for the patron than leaving their expensive device in a specific location in the library, where the patron is likely to leave it unattended for at least a few minutes while they....?....run to the restroom/chat with a friend/....?</div>
