Borrow at UnabDINGbar in Bielefeld

Borrow at UnabDINGbar in Bielefeld UnabDINGbar is the library of things at Stadtbibliothek Bielefeld, Zentralbibliothek am Neumarkt. About 100 objects for hobby, household, and leisure include a DVD player, folding Bollerwagen, binoculars, instant camera, sack truck, energy-cost meter, iron saw, soldering iron, and cordless drill. What you can do - Borrow from age 18 with a valid library card at the 1st-floor desk (not self-checkout) - Keep objects two weeks and extend if they are not reserved. Manuals travel with the device. You supply batteries or instant-camera film - Ask staff if you want to donate a useful object or request a new one How it works Issue and return run in information hours: Monday to Friday 10:00 to 18:00, Saturday 10:00 to 13:00. The building itself opens longer. The same house also runs a MakerSpace open workshop once a month. Why it matters A staffed things desk lets Bielefeld residents test a tool before they buy, or skip the purchase entirely.
