York Region Lendery logo

So you’ve decided to see if the kids would like camping, but you don’t want to spend money on equipment you may only use once if they don’t like the experience. Or you’re installing a new sink in the kitchen and need a jigsaw, something you’ve never needed before, to cut intricate curves in a section of countertop. And what about that new cabinet you bought that requires Allen Keys to secure it, which you don’t own. Instead of spending money on items you may never use again, you’ll be able to borrow them from the Lendery (A Library of Things). A joint venture of York Region, Newmarket Public Library and York Region Makers, the Lendery acts as a library where you can borrow a wide range of items.
