Letchworth Garden Shed - A library of things!

First Garden Cities Homes has supported the Shed since its early development, recognising the positive impact that it would have on the local community. Our fantastic partnership continues, giving residents access to pre-paid membership of the borrowing library.

A borrowing library, also known as a “library of things”, gives members access to hundreds of useful items for the home, projects, parties and adventures.

For a small weekly fee, members can borrow items such as:

• Pizza ovens
• Carpet cleaners
• Camping equipment
• Lawn mowers

For example ‘Garden Makeover’ … with some gardening jobs only needing specialist equipment once or twice a year you can borrow from the Shed instead buying expensive tools. So rather than spending hundreds of pounds on a lawn mower, pressure washer or hedge trimmer and finding the space to store them you can borrow at a fraction of the cost.

For the full list of items available to borrow, please visit www.letchworthgardenshed.com.

Residents can register by visiting the Shed at 69 Leys Avenue, Letchworth and providing proof of tenancy, such as email from FGCH showing their name and address.  A volunteer will then complete the membership sign-up process and residents will be able to begin borrowing from the Shed!
