WHAT WE DO
Some of our Key Projects
An important part of managing our collective resources responsibly is the adage: Reduce, Reuse, Refill, Repair & Repurpose, Recycle.
The Buxton Library of Things provides affordable access to over 100 useful resources and things that you don’t need to own.
Plastic pollution is evident all around us, blighting our lanes, paths and hedgerows, ending up in waterways and contributing to climate change.
Energy is fundamental to our modern way of life. But energy – specifically fossil fuels – is the main driver of climate change.

A Buxton Library of Things Borrower said 'this is like having a huge shed full of every possible tool without having a shed'. which we found an amusing and largely accurate description. We have over 160 items in the inventory all available for you to borrow for between £1 and £5 per item per week. So you can get those DIY and garden tasks done, clean the carpets, make small visitors comfortable with a travel cot, high chair, and stair gate, or impress your group with a presentation using a projector and screen, then refresh them using our urn. Before you buy something that you will not need regularly, check out our inventory and consider borrowing instead - better for the planet, and better for your budget at the same time.buxtonlibraryofthings.myturn.com/library/
