A Library of Things is a community hiring service that enables people to borrow items they need occasionally instead of buying them; for example, if you need a tool for a one$-$off job in the garden or in your house you can borrow that tool $($if they have it$).$

The Library of Things has a catalogue that can be browsed by anyone, of items that can be borrowed. Anyone interested in borrowing items needs to create an account with their details $($name$,$ email, username and password, address and phone contact$).$ They can then reserve an item for a certain date, borrow an item and return an item.
