Bibliotheque des objets in Casablanca

Goethe-Institut Morocco runs Bibliotheque des objets, a library of things where Casablanca readers borrow tools, garden gear, toys, and instruments instead of buying new.

What you can do in Casablanca

  • Browse the object categories on the institute page (Bibliotheque des objets)
  • Plan a visit with a valid reader card to borrow from the second floor
  • Share stories of repairs and picnics made possible by shared gear
  • Note the Rabat branch only as context; this row focuses on Casablanca

How to join

Create or renew a Goethe-Institut library card, then ask staff how borrowing slots work for heavy items. Respect return dates so the next neighbour can use the same drill.

Why it matters in Casablanca

Apartments stay uncluttered when ladders and camping kits circulate through a card index instead of online carts.

Good to know

  • Is membership free? Library rules describe card steps on the institute site.
  • Which languages are spoken? Staff may use French, Arabic, or German; phrasebooks help.
  • Can I donate objects? Ask institute staff about donation windows; do not leave items without approval.
