Launched at The Old Parcels Office at Havant Rail Station on Friday 27 January by Solent Remade – a community organisation that runs repair and reuse projects in the borough of Havant.
Funding partners including South Western Railway, Hampshire County Council and Community Rail Network joined Solent Remade CIC to celebrate this new initiative for local residents.
A Library of Things offers people the opportunity to borrow items they only use occasionally rather than buying them new. It is a great way of cutting unnecessary consumption, saving people money and reducing clutter.
As well as borrowing items such as a drill, a sewing machine or a gazebo, local people can pop into the Old Parcels Office during opening hours to use things on site, including hand tools, a bike repair kit and an electronic shredder.
Find out more at: www.havantlibraryofthings.org.uk. It is free to join and members can borrow on a pay what they can basis with a suggested donation given to each item. Havant Library of Things is also keen to hear from potential volunteers who would like to help Havant Library of Things expand including to other locations in the borough.
