Contact details
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

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)
