In a grassroots future, characterized by farming, education, and workforce building, there exists a library called The Resource Exchange Alliance, or, the R.E.A.
This library supports its community by commercial development and a barter/borrow system. One issue facing the library's community is a lack of individual resources, and to address this the library has made use of a trade system in items as well as utilizing community expertise.
