What is a Library of Things?
A Library of Things is an organisation which loans out items to members of its local community, often items which are rarely needed. By borrowing, renting or sharing products instead of buying new ones, we can protect our fragile ecosystems and help keep the fossil fuels in the ground.
People can borrow a whole range of items such as tools, equipment for garden, kitchen, entertainment, camping, crafts, sports, toys and baby items – it all depends what the specific location has available.
