The Library of Things
The Library of Things is a place where you can borrow useful things for your home, projects and adventures.
Many of us are trying to save money and reduce non-essential spending, we just don’t have the space at home or don’t have the money to buy items that we will only use once.
If this sounds like you, you can start borrowing quality products instead of buying them, whether it’s a drill, a lawn mower, or a cake tin.
Why borrowing is better than buying
- It is more affordable
- It cuts down on clutter
- It saves on space
- You can meet your neighbours, get involved in your community, or even learn a new skill that could change your outlook on life with the Tenant Academy
- You can share the things you won't use often, which is kinder to our planet
