Come and join The Sydney Library of Things Open Day in Cromer.
The Sydney Library of Things is a not-for-profit service that provides the local community with access to a collection of extremely useful but only occasionally used items that can be loaned out for a short period of time.
Our open day is offering fun and educational activities including repair workshops, live demonstrations, a pedal-powered smoothie maker, bike and scooter recycling and a free sausage sizzle! Plus access to a limited-time membership discount on the day.
Bought an item you no longer need? Give it a new life and donate it to our Library of Things!
