So you want to see if the kids like camping, or you’re installing a new sink in the kitchen? And what about that new cabinet you bought that requires Allen keys that you don’t own? Instead of spending money on items you may only use once, you can borrow them! The York Region Lendery is a Library of Things, a joint venture of York Region, Newmarket Public Library and York Region Makers. You can use your library card to borrow a wide range of items.
Look at what is available to borrow from the York Region Lendery in the Library's catalogue. You may also suggest a purchase for the York Region Lendery.
