Become a Member & Borrow Things.
Ilkley Thingery is a community resource-sharing hub - Ilkley's very own Library of Things. As a lending library, we offer a convenient and affordable way for people to access a wide range of items without needing to buy them. Most of the Things we stock are used. Some of the Things we stock are new.
Borrowing and sharing things through Ilkley Thingery is beneficial for sustainability and community building. Our members save money, reduce their environmental impact and save space in their homes by hiring things through Ilkley Thingery.
To become a member: 1. Register with us, 2. Pick a Membership Type by following the link in the email you receive after registering.

How we Started.
We started with a grant from a local B corp company, Beyondly; this provides funding for the cost of the building for the first 3 years, giving us time to make this project work financially. We rely on membership fees to make enough money to continue to run, so please become a member and start or continue borrowing from us. Our costs are mainly the running of our premises. We are staffed almost entirely by volunteers and the Things in our library are either loaned or donated to us.
Coming Soon.
We will soon be offering a range of workshops, meeting space for local groups and regular repair cafes (for textiles, furniture and electric items). Watch this space for news.
