Havant Library of Things

Havant Library of Things is a community resource for people living and working in and close to the borough of Havant. We lend out items that you only need occasionally at a fraction of the cost of buying new.

So many of the items we buy are only used for a short amount of time. What if you just borrowed these items when you needed them? Here are some great reasons for using a Library of Things.

Saves you money and time
Cuts down on stuff you have to store.
Enables you to “try before you buy”
Makes better use of the stuff already in the world
Supports the local community
Helps reduce resource consumption

We don’t want cost to be a barrier to borrowing from the Library of Things so we have a suggested donation policy. This is the price associated with each item in the catalogue and is the cost of borrowing it for a week. It is based on how much the item costs to buy new and helps us with running costs including insurance, software and premises costs.

If this price is not right for you – for example because you are only using the item briefly or because you cannot afford the full cost please pay a donation that works for you. We also aim to offer certain items free of charge from time to time.

We also welcome donations in excess of the suggested borrowing fee.
