Our Library of Things
Welcome to Buy Nowt LS6 Library of 'Things', a community-driven initiative that promotes borrowing over buying. Our pay-as-you-feel model allows local residents to contribute while accessing necessary items without purchasing them. Memberships are open to residents of LS6 and the neighbouring postcodes of LS2, LS3, LS4, LS5, LS7 & LS16.
We have new summer opening hours: Tuesday 6-8pm, Friday 4-6pm and Saturday 1-4pm.
3 Steps to Borrowing…
Borrow, don't buy!
By choosing to borrow, you not only save money but also reduce waste and foster connections within the community. Join us in making a positive environmental impact — borrow, don't buy!

"We are renovating our very first house and couldn't have done it without Buy Nowt. It is such an asset to our community. Thank you." — George & Sage, DIY'ers
Access, not ownership!
We believe that having access to the things you need is more important than ownership. This is why we created Buy Nowt LS6 — Library of Things.
We are open Tuesday 6-8pm, Friday 4-6pm and Saturday 1-4pm at Headingley Methodist Church, 1-3 Chapel Street, Leeds LS6 3HZ.

Our gallery
"We love the ice cream maker and use it to stock up on ice cream for the summer."
"What a brilliant resource. I have minimal storage space and little disposable income to buy lots of items when I rarely use them. I can borrow things I wouldn't usually be able to afford."
Funders
We are grateful to the organisations that help keep the library running.
