Starting a garden project this season? 🌱
Charlie borrowed tools from our #LibraryOfThings to build a vineyard support structure right here in Oxford 🍇
Got a project in mind? We’re here to help 💚 find what you need at shareoxford.org

The value of a library isn’t in proving one book correct, but in revealing how many stories exist. What tension appears when certainty meets that abundance?

This beautiful 1932 gramophone horn was carefully restored using a wallpaper steamer borrowed from our #LibraryOfThings. 🎶
Thank you, Eric, for sharing the results with us 💚

Ready, set, bird! As the weather warms it becomes even easier to go bird watching. Level up your birding game with the Library's bird watching kit which includes binoculars, bird guide, and maps!

A shot of the library space where the sign above the aisle says "Library of Things" and the nearby metal shelves offer a bunch of things you can take to your house and use. On the top shelf is another sign that says Home Things and just to the right of that is the lace pillow we asked if they would stock. It's not the actual pillow itself, it's their DVD holder kind of plastic item that shows the pillow and the components. Close up of that in the other image.
The close up of the Home Things shelf and our lace pillow DVD box thing next to it. It shows the pillow and the other items that come with it, and there's a list of the components so people will know what comes with it. You can take this DVD box to the main desk and check out a lace pillow and the other bits.
We picked up our lace from the display in a local library yesterday (Morse Institute in #NatickMA). We also suggested some books + items for the library to defeat #AIslop beginner books, and a beginner #BobbinLace pillow setup for the #LibraryOfThings.
Equipment is hard to assess as a beginner.
#Libraries are for the people and any community outreach they do toward enhancing that relationship, I’m for. The #LibraryOfThings fits into that.

Community hubs are reimagining empty spaces as places to repair, share, learn and build a sense of belonging. When people come together to create, fix and collaborate, they turn local spaces into living, thriving neighbourhoods.

We’ve added mini projectors to our Library of Things collection! While these projectors are tiny, they cast a big image for presentations or movies. Now available at both locations! #libraryofthings #tinyprojector

IT'S SHOWTIME (says Michael Keaton as Betelgeuse in BEETLEJUICE)
We have a DVD player out from the #LibraryOfThings atm, & it works well—better than a combo VCR/DVD console I fished out of the garage months ago. We used it to watch BEETLEJUICE—also checked out from the library—which I liked much better than I had as a teenager, & finished in 3 sessions w/ my kid.
Is there anyone here that has a "how to" guide for setting up a Bike Library please?

I know a lot of people who would like this, would benefit from this…maybe even me (remembering my bonsai tree [long, long ago perished], my bonsai tool set and books)…

Exciting to see this article in the NYT this week!
My entire family of 12 all sewed. Clothing but other stuff. (My 6'8" bro sewed a camp tent!).
Pro Tip: Our local library has a "Library of Things" with sewing machines to lend!
