Kloth - Kernow Library Of Things

A Library of Things works like a normal library. But instead of borrowing books, you can borrow tools, kitchen equipment, camping gear in fact, pretty much anything. The kind of things that you might not own, only use occasionally, or perhaps, can’t afford. We want to move away from the idea that in order to use things we have to own them and having a Library of Things means that everyone in a community shares stuff as and when they need to, instead of storing things away in homes. This year has shown more than ever how important community is. And supporting our project also helps as we hurtle ever closer to climate breakdown. Because a Library of Things also means buying less, repairing more and having greater respect for resources, our environment and our planet. In September, with help from Penryn Town Council, we opened the first KLOTH branch in Penryn. Local people have already donated some incredible things. Now, we’re crowdfunding to keep the project running and build up the library with some really useful, but expensive, things.
