If you have one of the above items or one that isn’t on our wish-list, we may still be able to make use of it, so please drop us an e-mail at lot@buynowtls6.com
Our library is fuelled by the generosity of our willing volunteers who donate time to help LS6 become more sustainable.
We are 100% volunteer run and all financial donations are used solely on the running costs and towards improving it and making it accessible.
There are a few ways to support us financially: through monthly paying memberships and one-off donations.

– To make a one-off donation, simply click the green ‘Donate Now’ button, choose an amount you’d like to donate, and then enter your card details securely.
You can also donate when you borrow items by cash or card payment in person during our opening hours.
We operate using a pay-as-you-feel model. This means you decide what you can afford. If you are financially able to, please donate what you can because our project runs from your kind donations.

However, if you can afford to do so, a financial contribution helps us to make the library affordable and accessible to all.
