How it works
You can borrow items or ‘Things’ that you only need to use from time to time from Bath Library of Things.
Our most loaned items are the professional carpet cleaner and pressure washers — but people borrow all sorts of Things — drills and sanders for DIY; leaf blowers and strimmers for tidying up the garden; and fun Things including tents, gazebos, chocolate fountains or cake tins.
By borrowing Things for a small fee, you don't have to buy them. It saves you money and helps the environment too by reducing consumption. What's not to like?!
