It’s a THINK GLOBAL, ACT LOCAL initiative.  The planet is buckling under the weight of human demands for more and more resources to be extracted, transported, manufactured, used then disposed of at alarming rates.

We offer locals the opportunity to radically reduce their ecological footprint by borrowing instead of buying.  Together our members love caring for and finding ways to extend the sharing outside the household memberships.   

Our current Membership offer is:

>>6 month membership

>>$1 per week &

>>a little over an hour of your time each week*. 

The $26 monetary fee is paid on joining (and thereafter on renewal each six months and the time contribution can be paid in a variety of ways – generally speaking members should expect to do at least one 2.5 hour shift working on site per month. 

>>  We require a mix of coordinators and workers to make the magic happen! 

>>  Coordinators usually split their hours between planning/organising/doing off site and working a shift on site.     

>>  On Thursday’s there are critical roles for fortnightly ‘Shift Workers’.  These are dedicated librarians and maintenance crew who ensure all returning loans are thoroughly checked and membership records are kept in order. 

>>  On Friday’s we sometimes run Make & Mend – Odd Jobs & Banter as a collaborative event with our sister project, Salvage Culture.  This takes place in the Salvage Culture Workshop at the Community College accross the road.  This involves sewing machines, gaffa tape, glue and staple guns as primary tools.  Our inhouse Repair Cafe:)

>>. The Library of Stuff Co op offers support and sponsorships to local community groups and other non profit organisations.   This service is intended to assist these groups by helping them avoid costly commercial hire fees or potentially feeling under pressure to use throw away items instead like cups, plates, cutlery etc.   If you would like to enquire about borrowing items for a group or org please use the contact form below.

*Membership is for a household with up to 3 adults –  5 hours time contribution between all household members per month.  Concession for the time contribution will be considered for single adult households.  Please get in touch if you would like to request this.
