Transition TogetherIt’s Libraries Week and we’re celebrating the many different libraries of all sorts run by Transition Groups.
Like Share Portsmouth, running a library of things and repair cafe base out of a shopping centre in the middle of their town, making it easier for folks to get hold of items they use occasionally without having to buy, ship, store or chuck them once they are no longer needed.
Transitioners in towns, cities and rural areas are running libraries of things, helping their communities become more connected and resilient, and people to share what they have and get what they need at much lower cost to their pockets and the planet.
Visit or join your local Library of things, or spread the word and see who's interested in starting one in your area and let’s make this as handy and widespread as possible!
Some examples we're celebrating today! Sustainable Tiverton's Share Shop Tiverton - A Library of Things, Transition Buxton Zero Carbon Guildford SERO Kew The Transition Little Seed Library Sustainable Starts children's clothes and nappy libraries, Exmouth Library of Things, and Crystal Palace Transition Town helped start the first Library of Things in London, The Green House St Albans and Transition Leytonstone have fab collections of environmental books to lend.
And taking inspiration from the many other libraries of things across the country! The Edinburgh Tool Library Share Shed - A Library of Things SHARE Oxford Bath Share & Repair, Hull Library of Stuff and more!

Public Libraries: A Bridge to Creativity and Expression
People from working-class and minority backgrounds are hugely under-represented within arts and culture in the UK. Yet, with a strategic place at the heart of our communities and with a workforce dedicated to enriching the lives of everyone, libraries provide a bridge to culture, creativity and expression.
