Library of Things
The Library of Things is an exciting collection of useful everyday items that library members aged 18+ can borrow for free using their library card.
Items available in the collection are chosen because they may only be needed on an infrequent basis, therefore saving the user from having to purchase the item themselves, or because members may like to ‘try before they buy’. Further, a Library of Things promotes a circular economy and reduces waste.
The Library of Things has a range of items from handy tools to cake tins and induction cooktops. Our collection is growing as we add more items in the coming months.
