Say no to buying new

What your neighbours are saying
"It was brilliant and really easy to borrow. Really enjoyed using the hand sander and it was so easy to use once I had got into it!"
"Collecting was really easy, especially for people like me who are not really "tech-savvy", I would definitely recommend it for people who are mindful of the environment and their pockets."
"I love to buy all kinds of sophisticated tools. But, usually, they end up being used only once and then take up space for years. Library of Things helped me handle the urge to buy another thing this time."
