Library of THINGS

A library with different useful items on its shelves instead of books

The Library of THINGS is set up at the Community Centre in Savsko naselje. It is a library with different useful items on its shelves instead of books – THINGS – that can be used at home, in the garden, for playing, sports and many other items. Item rental is an innovative approach to prudent use of goods and environmental conservation and at the same time an example of responsible consumerism as it enables people to use things which they need only every now and then. Anyone who donates a thing on the »Wish List« or pays a membership fee can join the Library of THINGS.

The project was developed in cooperation with the Regional Development Agency of the Ljubljana Urban Region, the cultural association prostoRož, the Slovenia Coworking Initiative and the City of Ljubljana which provided facilities for the operation of the Library of THINGS.
