We are grateful to the following organisations for their generous donations of financial support and/or items for the library and our repair cafes:
- Oxford Brookes University
- The Children’s Allotment
- Oxfordshire County Council
- Oxford City Council
- Wolfson College, Oxford
- Orinoco, Oxford
- Oxford University Sustainability team
We are also supported by the CAG network, Oxfordshire, and we would like to acknowledge help and support we had from the London Library of Things and SHARE Frome (who allowed us to copy their name too) in turning the idea of a Library of Things in Oxford from the idea into a reality.
We also appreciate the support of everyone else who has kindly donated items to the Library of Things – we couldn’t do it without you!
