🎉 We’re excited to launch our new Library of Things!

You can now borrow a range of practical and useful items from Quedgeley, Up Hatherley and Charlton Kings Libraries — from cleaning, gardening and DIY tools to gadgets and party equipment.

Why buy something you only need occasionally when you can borrow it locally?

✔ Save money
✔ Save space
✔ Reduce waste
✔ Try new things without the upfront cost

Pop into one of the participating libraries to see what’s on the shelves, or ask staff to find out what you can borrow. Let’s make sharing the new normal in Gloucestershire! 💙📚
