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!

How it works

We are like a normal library but instead of books, you can borrow items such as:

DIY & Tools

  • Jigsaw
  • Circular saw

Home & hobbies

  • Popcorn maker
  • Bread maker
  • Carpet cleaner
  • Sewing machine
 
 

Events & camping

  • Gazebo
  • Tents
  • Camp chairs
  • Camping tables
  • Cool box
 
 

How to become a member

Membership is easy. Just go to the Inventory tab on our website and then in the top left corner you can make an account. When you first come in to the Library just bring some proof of address in too so we can check it. When making a membership please do consider donating to the Library. We are PAYF so we rely on the donations of people like you, If you do decide to do so please also save your card details so you can keep donating monthly.
