You can now borrow a sewing machine or a cordless screwdriver from the Tübingen public library. The two devices are part of the “Library of Sustainable Things”. It currently comprises 20 devices, including a stapler, bicycle tools or devices with which you can check the power consumption of your household appliances. “We want to focus on the topic of sustainability,” says Monika Friedrich, who is responsible for events and also the “Library of Sustainable Things” at the library. Borrowing items makes that possible in more ways than one: Be it mending clothes with the sewing machine or using the watchmaker’s tool to repair glasses.
The media cabinet is located in the entrance area of the library at Nonnengasse 19 and can be used around the clock with the library card of the public library. The library card is free of charge for holders of a KreisBonusCard. The library’s catalog shows daily updates—also on the Internet—of which items are currently on loan.
Since the library of the lasting things is still developing, the medium search on the homepage (www.tuebingen.de/stadtbuecherei) is not really comfortable at present. The easiest way to get to the overview is via the following link.
