A lot of items could work, but is there something you think we should prioritize first?

A lot of items could work, but is there something you think we should prioritize first?
Paintings (and other display art)! Extra points if you can get them locally sourced. Let the interior decorator in you change the paintings every few months, and cycle these things around.
Hiking/climbing/skating equipment, as fits local environment.
Bike and motor repair tools.
Reusable pest traps (best if they are catch+release).
(also household tools, but wise lemmings already mentioned that.)
I feel like hiking and climbing equipment wouldn’t work well. At least where I live, tents, backpacks, etc would almost certainly be booked out by the homeless population indefinitely. That the homeless need camping equipment is a whole other discussion to have… but I don’t think most libraries would be equipped for the demand they would recieve.
I would not want to check out publicly owned rock climbing equipment. That sounds sketchy af. And I am a rock climber who knows how to inspect their equipment.
