Scattered across London are these handy little libraries where, instead of borrowing things to read, you can borrow random things you need.

The Library of Things offers Londoners the chance to get their hands on the random tools, gadgets, and household items they need, in a far more sustainable way than buying them brand new. From camping gear and carpet cleaners to party supplies and pressure washers; the Library of Things is packed full with handy items to borrow at affordable prices. And with 19 libraries now scattered across the city; it’s never been more convenient to borrow rather than buy.

    They have them in the US too, at regular libraries. Obviously not such a wide selection.

      My public library in a small town in canada has stuff like this, it’s pretty awesome. They also have stuff like crafting kits with the tools you need to test out a hobby without buying all the way in

      I lived in Oakland for a while and they had an awesome tool library. Lawnmowers and hedge trimmers, jackhammers, impact drills and saws, dolleys for when you move, automotive tools. It was awesome.
