Help keep LS6 Buy Nowt Library of Things thriving
Not everyone needs to borrow tools, camping gear, or household equipment every month — but many people believe in the idea behind the Library of Things.
By reducing waste, saving money, and helping neighbours share resources, LS6 Buy Nowt Library of Things is building a more sustainable and connected community.
If you believe in that mission, you can become a Friend of the Library.
