Borrow from the Library of Things

Lend drills, games, and gear like books

Kiel’s Bibliothek der Dinge at the Zentralbücherei and Bücherei Gaarden lends items you only need occasionally: tools, sports kit, party gear, or hobby equipment for up to four weeks.

What you can do

  • Search the online catalogue and reserve before you buy something you will use twice a year.
  • Return items clean and complete so the next neighbour can borrow them.

Why it matters

Shared libraries of things keep bulky purchases out of cupboards and cut waste from one-off buys.
