Sherborne Library of Things

Sherborne Library of Things BORROW NOT BUY! A 'library of things' is a place you can borrow an item for a small fee rather than buying it. E.g a tent for a one off trip.

Instead of buying then never using again borrow it from us! Saving you money and unnecessary waste.

The Sherborne Library of Things is a new community initiative, opening soon in Tinneys Lane, where you can borrow everyday household items from hedge trimmers to cake tins.

Why buy when you borrow!

Would you like to be part of the team setting up this project and help the community and the planet?

Librarians of Things:
You’ll welcome people to the Library on a Saturday morning, checking their items in and out. You’ll be able to explain how to use the item, and how to return it in good condition.

Technicians of Things:
You’ll check that items are ready to be loaned out and help with any instructions for use.

Both roles are a great way to:
- Connect with your local community
- Be part of the growing movement to live more sustainably
- Benefit from a Free Membership to the Library of Things so that you can easily borrow what you need rather than buying

We are looking for people who are friendly, welcoming, organised and have some computer experience. Full training for these roles will be given.
