Library of Things
Located in eight libraries and community spaces across the county, a Library of Things allows residents to borrow a wide range of items that are often expensive to buy, used only occasionally or difficult to store at home, offering a convenient and affordable alternative to ownership.
Each Library of Things is delivered in partnership with local charities, community groups and organisations, whose support and expertise help ensure services reflect local needs and priorities. Together, these locations form a countywide network that supports community sharing, helps residents save money and contributes to Surrey's wider environmental and sustainability ambitions.
Catalogues vary by location, but many offer access to DIY tools, gardening equipment, kitchen items, leisure equipment and other household essentials. All items can be browsed and booked online, making it easy for residents to find what they need when they need it. Borrowing is straightforward, affordable and flexible, whether residents are tackling a home project, trying out a new hobby or preparing for a one‑off event.
