Library of things
What’s a Library of Things?
The Library of Things gives you the opportunity to try equipment before you buy it, so you can explore new skills and experiences before choosing to invest in additional household items. This increases your access to resources and helps you make informed purchasing decisions, which supports environmental sustainability and reduces landfill waste!
How does it work?
Campbelltown customers can use an adult library card to borrow items from the Library of Things for two weeks at a time. Browse our online library catalogue or the Libraries SA App to see what you can borrow, place a hold using your library card and we will contact you when it’s available to pick up. If the item is not out on loan, you’ll get to borrow it straight away.
