#SydneyNSW, #Australia - Why Buy When You Can Borrow?

"The #Sydney #LibraryOfThings is a not-for-profit service that provides the local community with access to a collection of extremely useful but only occasionally used items that can be loaned out for a short period of time.

We’re like a normal library but with things instead of books! Joining your enables you to borrow from ALL of our branches and you don’t have to live in the local area of the branch you want to join! Find out more about subscriptions and how it works here.

We hope that by encouraging people to borrow instead of buying or throwing away their unwanted items, together we can create a better connected, more sustainable and stronger community.
Did you know we also deliver #RepairCafes and run a #ToyLibrary? Check out #FixItHub Waverton, #TheFixery Cromer and The Lane Cove Toy Library.

We acknowledge the original custodians of the lands we work from, and pay respect to Elders past and present and all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples."

@pezmico toy libraries are awesome, especially when your kids are under 4 we found. They often only use toys for a few weeks at that age, so it's a huge waste of space to buy your own. #zerowaste #communitysolutions #sharing #toylibrary

Today I'll be volunteering at the #ToyLibrary for a while. 🧸🪀

Parents, do you know what a toy library is? Have you found and joined your closest one?

I'm of course a huge fan. And really recommend them.

They're a bit of #prefigurativePolitics too!
This is how we build the world we want in the shell of the one we have. And, we can take the kids on this journey.

Win, win, win. 🌎

OpenStreetMap recently added "toy library" as a category. If you know a game and toy library, update its category to make it easier to find.
