The Library of Things on Kingswood’s High Street has hundreds of items - and whether it's garden tools or a chocolate fountain - it seems Bristolians are keen on borrowing. A project of Share Bristol, the organisers have confirmed a second Library of Things may soon open in south Bristol as they broke all records during April.
Share Bristol volunteer director, Anna Perry said the concept of borrowing ‘things’ from the library instead of having to rush out and buy new, has been enthusiastically welcomed with over £7,000 raised in Crowdfunder towards a second library in Bedminster. She said they had also seen a flurry of new members with 43 signing up for annual membership during last month.
Membership is £50 for the year, or £20 for low income households, which allows the member to borrow anything they may need from the well-stocked library during that year. Anna said: “April was a great month for the volunteer team behind the not-for-profit Library of Things currently based on Kingswood High Street.
