About
This volunteer-run library lends out tools and equipment for short-term use, helping locals avoid buying items they might only need occasionally. Members can borrow things like carpet cleaners and DIY tools, returning them after a few days. The service is known for its affordability and ease of use, with a straightforward collection and drop-off process. Based in Levenshulme, it has become a practical resource for residents tackling odd jobs or home projects without the expense of purchasing new gear.
Customer Reviews
Absolutely brilliant! Can't recommend enough. We borrowed a carpet cleaner for 5 days for £17. Collection and drop off were really easy, our carpets look like new, and all of the volunteers were super friendly and helpful. Thanks to everyone who has made Library of Things happen - we will be using it again soon.
An amazing volunteer-led initiative. I've been using often and I find it incredibly useful to get access to so much equipment that you'd only use once or twice a year. Saves me from having to buy that equipment, generating extra waste, and saving a ton of money. This week I'm using a K'archer worth £700 to clean up a sofa, for £15. The alternative would be to get a company to do it, and it took me 20min. It's just nuts. I tell everyone about it and everyone really loves the idea. Not many have heard of it before actually. Really appreciative of the volunteers running it.
Fab thing for Levenshulme! Borrowed a few things now, so much easier and cheaper than buying new for odd jobs. Can’t recommend enough!
