Why buy when you can borrow? We’ve partnered with the Sydney Library of Things to provide the Sydney Library of Things – Northern Beaches. The new location will open in Cromer on Saturday 23 November, 9am - 12 noon.

What is a Library of Things?

The Sydney Library of Things (LoT) 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.

It is like a normal library but with things instead of books! Things include tools, garden maintenance equipment, sewing machines, sustainable party supplies, kitchen appliances that support sustainable living lifestyles and much more.

‘Things’ are donated from people who no longer have use or room for the item and are then tested ready for borrowing.
