New 'Shedders' needed at Letchworth Garden Shed!

The Letchworth Garden Shed lends out tools, games, appliances, baking equipment, and all sorts of kit for a nominal fee, so everyone can do more without buying more. They are busier than they expected they'd be! They're now looking for new 'Shedders' to help them run their library of things.

Libraries of Things are, essentially, a way of sharing more and wasting less, as a community. It's been a steep learning curve since they opened last August, but they've been thrilled (if slightly overwhelmed) by the uptake. They're looking for more people to join the team and keep this growing resource running smoothly. Their Shedders run the Shed during opening hours, processing returns, issuing loans, giving DIY advice here and there, and explaining the libraries of things concept a lot (it's a new but growing movement in the UK). They run all sorts of making-, mending- and skills-workshops as well, which the Shedders help out with. There's also quite a lot of tea, both making and drinking, involved! If you're interested, get in touch and they can set up a couple of no-strings 'taster sessions', for you to come along and get a feel for the place and how things run.
