Library of Things Malton & Norton
We operate from the Baptist Hall, Railway Street, in Malton, Thursdays from 5-7pm, if there are items that people have reserved to pick up or drop off. If you want to visit and are not picking up or dropping off, please email to let us know so we can be there to greet you. We are always looking for volunteers. If you would like to help us you will be made very welcome! We have a number of ways you can help. Contact us:
What we are about
LOT M&N provides a place where local people can borrow things - like a library, but for household items intended for home and domestic use. Borrowing is an alternative to owning and storing more things.
By borrowing we:
- reduce the impact on our
planet and reduce the clutter in our own homes
- give us access to things that may be too costly to buy, too bulky to store or only needed occasionally
- share the cost of things across our community
The LOT also needs donations of things to lend - tools, toys, camping and sports equipment, crafts, etc. Send an email to libraryofthingsmn@gmail.com to arrange drop-off or come by Thursdays from 5-7pm to drop off items. Please contact us first if you want to donate an item so we can make sure we can accept it.
If you have an idea of an item you would like to borrow that is not currently on our site, please email us and we will see what we can do!
The things available for lending may be new or recycled. LOT
M&N will provide a basic check to ensure the item seems to be in a safe
working condition and all eletrical items are PAT tested annually. The item is expected to be returned in the same condition and the borrower is expected to respect the thing they have
borrowed and only use it for its intended use.

Annual membership is £5 which can be paid by credit or debit card when you register. If you don't have a card, please drop us an email and we will arrange an alternative method of payment.
