Thank you for considering to offer a useful item to the new Library of Things!
We’re keen to grow the catalogue with useful items from across a broad range of categories, especially through second-hand acquisition to increase BayShare’s sustainable impact. Things like decorations and reusable plates/cups/cutlery for parties, outdoor gear like rucksacks and bike maintenance equipment, crafting kit like soldering irons and sewing machines, sensory and/or memory play sets for kids and adults alike, musical instruments, and of course items and tools for gardening and home maintenance.
In order for the items to be covered by the BayShare Library of Things insurance, the items need to become property of LAMM, the hosts of the first Library space in Lancaster District. Please recognise that while we are grateful for donations, we cannot accept everything – due to space and insurance requirements, potential state of the item(s) donated, and if items are unused by Library members, we may need to sell or donate the item onto another group or individual – in which case proceeds will be used to support BayShare.
In order to process donation offers, we’re asking you to fill out a few bits of information so we can assess what is on offer, and then get in touch with next steps. We are a small group of volunteers; please be patient, we will get back to you within a few weeks to follow up. Your contact information will only be used for communications regarding the item(s) by the BayShare team, unless you tick the box to be added to the mailing list.
Please ensure that you check the wish-list before offering to donate an item.
