As an extremely new Library of Things, we really need people to donate all sorts of items, in each of our supported categories, so that we can concentrate on filling in the gaps by buying things (new or second hand) to fill out our stock. Do send us details if you have a thing that you’d like to donate!
Once we are more established, we’ll have a more specific wish-list to fill in any gaps in what we be provide.
If there is something you need to borrow, that isn’t already listed, you can make a personal request for a thing!

- MIDI devices
- Learn-to-play book/DVD/CD
Parties & Events
We all occasionally need to entertain other people, but we don’t need to all have everything we could possibly need to facilitate this. Everything from folding chairs to plastic plates.
PA equipmentGazebo- Folding tables and chairs
- Plates and utensils
- Decorations for a kid’s birthday party
Toys and Games
We are particularly interested in educational toys.

- Block toys like Lego
Transport
Bicycles are pretty popular, but I am sure they can’t be the only mode of transport available?
- Bicycle repair kit/tools
- Spare parts
Child’s unicycle- Folding bikes/e-bikes (sorry, we don’t have space for full sized bikes!)
