Library of Things Derby
A library of things… where people can borrow tools and other household items, similar to borrowing a book from a library
If you can't find what you are looking for in our library, or if you have something you'd like to donate, please tell us about it.
Please note, for safety reasons we are not able to stock dangerous tools like angle grinders, circular saws, blow torch, chainsaws, petrol power tools or fragile items.
