Have you ever wanted to try a new craft or hobby but found yourself discouraged after realizing you didn’t have the needed tools? Or have you bought the tools for that new hobby only to realize that you don’t actually enjoy knitting, birdwatching, or playing the bongos? Nashville Public Library’s newest program offers an alternative: borrow instead of buy. Launched in early 2023, the Library of Things allows Nashville Public Library cardholders to borrow a range a useful household items including activities and games, health and fitness equipment, tools and electronics, and much more to provide further enrichment to our Nashville community. Join us for a discussion with Nashville Public Library’s Donelson Branch staff—Ryan Darrow, Library Branch Manager, and Bailey Battilla, Adult Librarian—to learn about the importance of sharing common household items to reduce the need to buy new.
"Sustainable in the City" is an educational livestream series brought to you by Zero Waste Nashville and Urban Green Lab every 2nd Wednesday of the month. We bring in experts from all over the city to highlight how Nashvillians can reduce waste and live more sustainably.
