Our Library of Things Collection is Growing!

Big news! Our Library of Things collection is growing based on your awesome feedback!

And sounds like you love it!

From our recent community survey we heard that users have a whopping 96% satisfaction rate with using the collection. But some of our more popular items had long wait times. To help with that, we've added more of our popular items like the telescope, sewing machine, Cricut!

Did you say a dog agility course?!

Based on your suggestions, we've added some pretty fun stuff: dehydrators, bread machines, polaroid cameras, dog agility courses – and the list goes on! Check out all the new items here.

Donations now accepted!

And guess what: we're now accepting donations! Got something gathering dust that could use a new home? Get in touch! Just make sure it meets our criteria and is on our wish list.
