Borrow, don’t Buy! is the message from Tideswell and District Environment Group.
The opening of its ‘Library of Things’ will enable community members from Tideswell and the surrounding area to save money and help protect the environment by borrowing items they need only once or occasionally. Items include power tools, gardening equipment, cooking appliances – and even a chocolate fountain! It costs £5 to join and then all items are free to borrow.
95% of items have been donated, giving items such as hedge trimmers, garden shredders, dehumidifiers, socket sets, carpet cleaners, teas sets, space heaters, angle grinders, - and lots more - a new lease of life.
The library of Things is open Saturdays 08:30 – 10:30 and Wednesdays 16:30 – 18:30 at the Tideswell Sports Complex.
To view the items available to borrow, visit: TDEG.org.uk/library-of-things or email [email protected]
