Bristol opens a fifth Library of Things in Easton
People in Easton can now borrow tools, camping kit and party equipment from Bristol's fifth Library of Things. The new neighbourhood site expands a sharing network designed to make occasional-use items cheaper and keep useful objects in circulation.
Bristol24/7 reports that existing members already live around Easton, so the closer branch reduces the journey needed to collect and return equipment. It stocks practical items ranging from drills to tents and sewing machines.
Share Bristol lists the Easton opening alongside its four established locations. Standard membership is £50 a year, with a £20 concession option, and the new site opens on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays. Borrowing availability still depends on stock and opening hours.
The branch gives residents another way to complete a repair, try a hobby or host an event without buying something new. Every successful loan stretches the value of one object across more households — and makes sharing part of ordinary neighbourhood infrastructure.
