Become a member

It costs nothing to become a member of Havant Library of Things. Fill out our online membership form, agree to our terms and conditions and choose from our membership types. You can then reserve items from our Library of Things!

Volunteer your time

Without our volunteers Havant Library of Things would not exist! We are looking for people with a whole range of skills to help run the library and do lots of useful things in between, including promoting and developing the LoT. For more details, go to the Volunteer page.

Start borrowing

Once you have signed up as a member it is straightforward to reserve an item. Sign in to the catalogue, find the item you want to borrow and choose the date you want to reserve it. Then pop in during our opening hours and pick up your item!

Breakages or mishaps

We all understand that sometimes things may get broken in use and that’s not a great disaster. We are not going to throw a wobbly and demand that you replace it (unless you’ve been really silly!), but we do ask that you come clean and let us know. ShareHavant also runs the Repair Cafe, so we can probably fix anything which does get broken. If we know about it, we can deal with it before the next person borrows it, but it’s very unfair to say nothing and let the next person find out the hard way!

What do you want to borrow?

There’s a storage space limit to how many items we can keep in the library, but is there anything in particular you wish we had? Please let us know and we’ll see what we can do. Pop in when we are open or email us.
