About

Hello and welcome! We are the Buy Nowt LS6 Library of ‘Things’, a pay-as-you-feel community initiative, created by a group of local volunteers in order to encourage local people to borrow instead of buying the things they need.

Our beliefs & values

At Buy Nowt LS6 believe we can all make an environmental difference by borrowing instead of buying. Buy nowt! Reduce waste creation, share resources, meet people in your local community and borrow stuff with a pay-as-you-feel donation. Win, win!

“Used a paint sprayer to paint the inside of a garage and was much quicker than a brush/roller.” Stuart.
