Bill Furbee writes: “When the existing gas range in his home began to malfunction, Brian Bunk considered replacing it with an induction stove. That decision, he says, was due in part to concerns about indoor air quality and a desire to switch to a more environmentally friendly appliance. Bunk was able to test this technology through a new program at Forbes Library in Northampton, Massachusetts. In February 2023, the library began lending induction cooktops for cardholders to try at home.”
