To give people access to the things they need, without everyone needing to own them.
Our mission
To make borrowing a convenient, affordable and normal part of everyday life in Exeter, as easy and familiar as buying
Our vision
To shape a city where more things are shared, used more often and kept in circulation for longer; for a more connected way of living.
Make it happen, for less
You’ve got the idea and we’ve got the kit. Borrow what you need and build the thing you’ve been putting off.
Owned by all of us
Nobody owns it, everybody uses it: a shared shelf of useful things, run by Exeter, for Exeter.
Consume less, live better
Borrow it, use it then bring it back. Clear cupboards and a clearer conscience.

Excellent service. Really useful to borrow things that you don't need all the time. Great value for money and easy to use. Staff are friendly too.

Excellent value rental service for tools , cookware, party gear and anything you can think of really - check out the website for the library catalogue. Membership is £30 a year and then the individual items can be rented per week for different prices. Staff are friendly and helpful and will help you carry heavier items upstairs if you ring the bell. (Unfortunately the LoT is on the top floor above the bakehouse so is not wheelchair accessible.)

They had exactly what I needed at a fraction of the price of buying new. Everything worked perfectly. Library of Things is a great resource for Exeter.
