"An average family of 4 living in Halton Hills borrows $10,000 worth of library materials each year" - this got me thinking how much money have I saved by using the library. For me I am going to count anything that I used that don't own, even if I am not allowed to take it home or it's only for programs. Also most prices will be approxoment:
3D Printer - $1,289.00 (I don't know offhand how much of a discount I am getting on filament)
4 colour add on - ~ $400
Cicucite around $400 + lets say $50 for supplies and stuff.
Star Trek Voyager The Complete Series - $150
DVDs - $40 on average at lets say I borrowed 100 of them so $400
Books - $40 on average at lets say I borrowed about 50 of them so $200
Meta Quest 2 - $
Games for Meta Quest 2- $40 and I have played about 6 so $240
Canon Vixia HF R800- $1,144.97
SP Hero Bolt - $179.00
Boardgames - ~ $50 * ~30 = $1,500
Sylvania 15.6" Swivel Screen Portable DVD - $280
Light Box - Amazon says they can be $35 to $200, the library gets higher end things so lets go with $100.
Nature DX Binoculars - $169.95
Steam deck - $399
Game laptop - ~$700.00
Steam Deck games - ~$200
Steaming shows - $7.00/month * 12 months = $84
PS5 - $580 + another $200 for games
Escape Rooms - $20
FanFest - $100(~ price of Fan Expo tickets)
Kits - These are customly made by library staff so I don't know the prices but I am going to gues $30 and I used about 10 of them= $300
Study rooms - $10/hour + $100 for insincere.
Other things I am forgetting - $200
Laptops - ~ $1,000
Headphones - $25.00
Museum Tickets are about $14 and I'll mark this down because of Space To Spoon.
------- TOTAL: 9665.46 ---
So I use approximately the same amount of stuff as a family of 3-4 people.
I shard this with the library, the new website lets you do that.
