LIBRARY FOR is like a tiny department store for life. A pop-up space for making, learning, borrowing, and meeting. Borrow a sander, an ice-cream maker, a pressure washer. Learn a new skill or hobby. Entertain your kids, learn about climate change, take a health check or make-over your CV. Do the things you’ve always wanted to do.
Welcome to the LIBRARY FOR both a better everyday, and for pursuing your dreams.
Events
Our vision is to support the local community in Peterborough with the cost-of-living crisis and with tackling climate change through low-cost item lending and workshops.
This initiative is being developed as a partnership with the global social enterprise Civic, Peterborough Central Library, environment and sustainability charity PECT and our funding partner, the National Lottery.
We encourage our LIBRARY FOR members to borrow items from us from as little as £1 a week per item, rather than buy, use once, never use again. Get started today in a few simple steps:
