TONIGHT 6pm: Cambridge Commons event on creating a sharing economy. Local residents Alice Hehir and Lucy Gonzalez will be sharing their work on bringing a Library of Things to Cambridge. #inequality Cambridge Library of Things CCVS #NeverMoreNeeded Cambridge Pivotal Book: tinyurl.com/dcsdt6dm
Alice Hehir describes Cambridge Library of Things model based on London model - small price for items, items bought new, 25% discount for low income households
Here's an example of Library of Things - items stored in lockers. This model uses staff rather than volunteers to increase availability
What are the benefits of Library of Things for Cambridge? Can build community and culture of borrowing and repairing, encourages people to connect, cuts environmental damage and increases access to tools for low income households #libraryofthings
Here's what we can do to get a Library of Things for Cambridge - a small step to building our community, supporting people financially and reducing our environmental impact cc Cambridge Library of Things #libraryofthings
To get started Cambridge Library of Things needs minimum £30K .. ideally £50K, and a venue. Can you help? London library of things is set up as a Community Interest Company - Cambridge instance will be based on this #libraryofthings
So Cambridge Library of Things is looking for a venue -- needs to have wifi, washing facilities and suitable space. Works best if it is alongside another usage #libraryofthings
"Having seen the Library of Things in action in London, it’s a fantastic community offering, much cheaper than traditional hire companies with great quality items." - attendee to tonight's event #libraryofthings cc Library of Things
