The new shop in Swansea's Quadrant centre where you can borrow expensive household items for next to nothing

A new library has opened up in a Welsh shopping centre - but with a big difference. Aiming to "revolutionise shopping habits", the Swansea Library of Things is packed with large, high-value household items which shoppers can borrow at a very small cost.

Based within the Quadrant Shopping Centre in Swansea city centre, you can get everything from carpet cleaners, power washers and large gardening power tools to buggies, tents and camping equipment. Among countless options, you could borrow a grass trimmer for three days for just £5, a pressure washer for three days for £9.

A multimedia projector could be borrowed for a week for £8, or a bread maker for seven days for £8. There's also the chance to borrow a folding camping table and seats for a week for just a fiver, or a family tent for £15 over a week. Get Swansea stories straight to your inbox with our newsletter.
