In the face of struggling post-lockdown high streets and the climate emergency, now more than ever we know that consumerism isn’t working for people or planet. Award-winning social enterprise Library of Things offers a solution through its item rental service, working with communities to create self-serve lockers in local spaces. Every rental reduces waste from landfill, saves people money, activates high streets and brings people together.

Local Community Marketer
Library of Things is a community-powered social enterprise that helps people save money and reduce waste by affordably renting out useful items like drills, sound systems and sewing machines from local community spaces. It also helps people share practical skills like DIY and repair with others in their neighbourhood.
We’re a friendly bunch, passionate about our mission. We’re guided by our values of being regenerative in the communities we’re in and to the planet we’re on; balanced in creating a fair exchange for everyone involved; entrepreneurial by testing ideas and learning quickly; transparent with our intentions; borrower-focused to create the best experience possible; and keeping things joyful and not too serious!
