What your neighbours are saying
I needed a reciprocating saw to fix my suitcase wheels, and the Library of Things came through big time! They hooked me up with everything I needed.

An exceptionally fine bit of kit. Also as a woman carrying it around, you get a fair bit of respect!

We were really looking forward to enjoying our garden and Buttercup the Strimmer made it possible! It was easy to use and the borrowing experience is great!
