Guildford Library of Things

Guildford Library of Things was founded in 2024 as a joint initiative between Zero Carbon Guildford and Guildford Library.

The Library of Things is a community project making it easy for locals to borrow tools, gadgets, and other handy items instead of buying them.

It is free to use.

The idea is to:

• save people money
• reduce waste
• bring the community together

The Library of Things stocks items such as:

• tools (drills, saws, hammers, bicycle tools)
• outdoors items (tens, gazebos, extension leads, folding chairs)
• gardening equipment (lawnmowers, hedge trimmers, strimmers)
• cleaning equipment (carpet cleaners, pressure washers)
• craft tools (sewing machine, laminator)
• electronics (computer game consoles, light box, green screen)

Guildford Library is situated near the top of North Street in Guildford town centre. There are:

• several nearby pay and display multi-storey car parks in the town centre
• some pay and display short stay on-street parking further down North Street
• two disabled spaces outside the front of the library
