BORROW. CREATE. REUSE.
Welcome to the Library of Things at the Reuse Hub
What if you didn't have to own everything you needed? The Library of Things is a community-powered collection of high-quality equipment and kits for people who want to finish projects, learn new skills, and make a real difference in reducing waste.
Reuse Hub Members get unlimited access for just $120/year plus other Reuse Hub Membership benefits like 10% off of workshops. Members can borrow freely and support a circular economy that actually works. Non-members can borrow most items for $5 - $10.

THE BIGGER PICTURE
Support Your Local Circular Economy
The Library of Things isn't just about borrowing—it's about building a different way to live. Every time you borrow instead of buying, you're:
- Saving money on items you'd only use once or twice.
- Keeping your home clutter-free without sacrificing what you need.
- Reducing your impact: Shared items mean fewer resources, less manufacturing, less waste.
- Strengthening your community: You're part of something that actually works.
WHY MEMBERSHIP?
$120/Year for Unlimited Access
Most items in our Library cost just $5 per borrow. That means with a $120 annual membership, you break even after just 24 borrows. Since most people borrow for about 7 days at a time, that's roughly 24 weeks of access to any tool, equipment, or kit you need throughout the year.
In other words: if you borrow just twice a month, membership pays for itself. For anyone who actually uses the Library regularly, the choice is obvious. You save money. You support a local circular economy that keeps quality items in circulation instead of landfills. And you get the freedom to borrow what you need, when you need it, without hesitation.
Why Membership Wins:
- $5 per item, unlimited borrows: 24 borrows and you've paid for the year.
- Unlimited access to the Library: Borrow as much as you need, as often as you need it.
- Plus member perks: Discounted workshops, exclusive community events, and updates on reuse resources.
- Supports reuse: Your membership funds programs that keep waste out of the waste stream.
- Go bigger on projects: No hesitation borrowing multiple items for ambitious projects.
- Live lighter: One less thing to buy, own, or store.
Whether you're a DIYer, a parent, or a climate advocate, unlimited membership transforms reuse from an occasional transaction into a way of life, and it pays you back every time you borrow.
