The Sydney Library of Things

The Sydney Library of Things

A not‑for‑profit library where the community can borrow a diverse range of items for short periods of time - all for an annual membership fee. Think camping gear, party equipment, power tools, kitchen appliances, gardening tools, and more. We're all about sustainability, community connection, and waste reduction by encouraging borrowing instead of purchasing.

Accepted items

Hand and Electric Power Tools Party Gear and Decorations Sports and Outdoor Equipment Kitchen Appliances Homesteading Items Arts and Crafts Tools Camping Gear Gardening Tools Entertainment and Outdoor Games

Condition of items

Usable and unusable

We only take items that : -are clean and in good usable condition -include at least one working battery and charger (for battery-powered tools) -are less than 5 years old (for electric items) -are a known brand – this will enable us to do product safety searches and also find a manual (if not donated with the item) -are able to fit in a car (for members to transport)

Helpful tips

Please view our current wish list and donation limitations online then complete the donation form. Please allow at least a week for our volunteers to respond after submitting your donation form. We’re unable to accept items that haven’t been through this procedure prior (ie. no drop-offs).

Service fee
