Library of Things

To borrow from our Library of Things, you must first become a member.

Please visit our Membership page to learn more.

Read our full Borrower's Agreement (Terms of Use).

Our borrowing rules are simple:

Return items clean, on the day they are due back, to the place you picked them up from, during opening hours, and tell us about any problems.

When using tools and equipment, always act within your competency - this means you must be capable of using them, and follow any instructions and safety guidelines provided.

If it is your first time borrowing, please bring the following with you when you come to collect your things:

EITHER:
Photographic identification (e.g. driving licence, passport, blue badge, older person’s bus pass, disabled person’s bus pass, PASS card, voter authority certificate) AND one item of official proof of address (e.g. utility bill, council tax bill, credit card statement, lease agreement, insurance policy, or mobile phone bill), which must be dated within the last 3 months.

OR:
If you have no photo ID, two items of official proof of address, which must be dated within the last 3 months.

Please note that a daily late fee is charged on each overdue item. This is twice the equivalent daily rate, calculated from the weekly loan fee (rounded up or down). For example, if an item has a weekly fee of £1.75, then the daily late fee will be 50p (£1.75/7=0.25 x 2= 0.50).

Depending on when you are able to return the item(s), it may be more cost-effective for you to renew the item for another week. You can renew items from your account online. You will not be able to renew the item(s) if they are reserved to go out at our next session. We ask that you be considerate of other people who may want to borrow the item(s), when deciding whether or not to renew.

Please contact us at library@shareskipton.org if you need any help.
