Imagine a world where sharing & reuse is the norm
The Library of Things platform is a one-stop-shop that makes it easy for any local government, organisation or community to launch, operate and grow their own network of sharing libraries.
Trusted by cities, housing developers and communities across Europe.
The network effect: London - the worlds first sharing-item city
Across Europe, cities and businesses are looking to transition towards a circular economy. Sharing libraries empower citizens to move away from consumption and towards shared access as an alternative to ownership.
In London, we’ve established a city-wide network of 22 sharing libraries, located in the community and high street spaces citizens visit everyday. Our platform makes it possible for any organisation to launch the next sharing city.
