The Library of Things in Skipton, North Yorkshire, offers residents a unique borrowing experience, allowing them to loan everyday items like tools, tents, and sports equipment. With over 600 items available, including drills and life jackets, users can save money and promote sustainability by borrowing rather than buying items they only need occasionally. Members pay a yearly subscription fee of £10 and additional charges for valuable equipment, making the service accessible and cost-effective.
