We need friendly, willing helpers who are happy to clean, tidy, restock shelves, and check items in and out of the library on a laptop.
The Library of Requirements is part of a fast growing network of Libraries of Things (LoTs), the purpose of which is to reduce unnecessary waste in the area by taking in donations of unwanted but still useful items, and lending them back to the community. The ‘things’ can be anything from a cake tin to a lawn mower……you name it, and we will try to stock it! Our library supports those facing financial hardship, those with limited storage space, and reduces the amount of items going to landfill.
As a start up, we will have limited opening hours as our membership grows. Most of our stock is made up of second hand items, so we will need volunteers happy to get their hands a little dirty. If you are a person who enjoys practical tasks, we can promise you a regular supply of items that need fixing. All items are checked in and out of the library on our website, and so a familiarity with IT will be preferable. We anticipate footfall to be quite slow initially, so please be prepared for a relaxed pace where you may have days with not much to do. We love ‘community’, so if you are a person who enjoys working with others, please consider joining our happy team.

About The Library of Requirements
We are a ‘library of things’ whose dual purposes is to reduce unnecessary waste by encouraging the reuse of items that would otherwise find their way to landfill, and offering these items as low cost loans to our members thus supporting people facing financial hardship. The majority of our library stock is made up of preloved everyday items for use in your household, garden, DIY projects, camping trips, leisure time etc…..the list is endless!
Why buy, when you can borrow.
