Library of Things

Library of Things is a place where you can borrow useful things for your home, projects and adventures. 

The cost-of-living crisis means many of us are trying to save money and reduce non-essential spending. 

We can all save money by affordably renting quality products instead of buying them – whether its a drill, a karaoke machine or a sewing machine.

Why borrowing is better than buying:

• it’s more affordable
• cuts down on clutter
• beats next-day delivery
• meet your neighbours, get involved in your community, or even learn a new skill that could change your outlook on life.
• sharing the things you won't use often is a simple action we can take to live more sustainably so it's kinder to your planet.
