Katya A2024-04-02I have used so many items from the library of things, mostly DIY and garden tools but there is so much more! Staff are friendly and helpful. I recommend a membership to anyone who needs things but doesn't want to store, maintain or buy those things.
william beeston2024-03-09Fantasically simple transaction. We borrowed a tile cutter, which probably would have cost £100s if rented. Great idea
Rachel Stokes2024-02-22We love the share library so much! Everyone is really friendly & helpful, and there's an amazing selection of things - all for free once you've paid your £50 annual membership (which is nothing considering how much we have saved in our first year by borrowing!).
Elly Hopkins2024-02-01.An environmentally friendly, community supporting, inclusive initiative. Making more things possible for more people. Thank you!
Fabien Bernard2024-01-19Borrowed a ladder to fix some curtains, really lovely, helpful and wheelchair accessible, thank you so much!!!
Sharon Morgan2023-10-23Great equipment, really welcoming and helpful people who are efficient and effective lenders. Thank you so much, glad I found you
Christina Poole2023-09-16Brilliant idea, lots of items to borrow, fairly good range in most fields. Staff are very helpful & very pleasant. In todays financial situation for many people its heaven sent. A very good addition to Kingswood.
Ali Keen2023-08-25What a brilliant resource and wonderful staff.
Maire Grogan2023-08-18Such a great initiative! I signed up for an annual membership which costs £50 and have already hired out a lawnmower and strimmer which would easily have cost four times the price of that membership, plus they're not permanently taking up space in my garage! Volunteers were very friendly and helpful, couldn't recommend more!
Michael McCall2023-07-09Absolutely brilliant service, amazing value for money and I can't recommend them more.
