Giving Your Stuff New Life With the Library of Things

When downsizing and decluttering your space, you may often uncover several items that you no longer use but are hesitant to get rid of because they still have lots of life left in them. Instead of putting them in the donation pile, consider checking your local “Lendery” or “Library of Things

A Library of Things is a community-based service that allows people to borrow items they need for a short period of time, just like they would borrow books from a traditional library. The items available for borrowing can vary widely, from household appliances and tools to musical instruments and sporting equipment.

The best part is that if you end up needing that item again in the future, you can simply borrow it from the library instead of it taking up valuable storage space in your basement!



Here are a list of some local libraries with a Library of Things service:

Barrie Library

Caledon

Markham Library

Milton Library

Newmarket Library
