About The Australian Library of Things Network
The Australian Library of Things Network (ALoT) was founded in 2022 as a volunteer-driven initiative to build a national peak body for the growing Library of Things sector across Australia. Recognizing that achieving the country's 2030 climate targets requires a rapid transition to a circular economy, the network emerged to support, advocate for, and grow the sharing library movement. By encouraging reuse and borrowing over individual ownership, Libraries of Things across Australia are already making measurable progress toward emission reduction goals, waste diversion, and community resilience.
Current Focus and Mission
Today, The Australian Library of Things Network focuses on establishing a formal structure to coordinate and amplify the efforts of local sharing libraries, tool libraries, kitchen libraries, community toolboxes, and other specialized item libraries. The network’s core mission is to provide a unified voice for these initiatives, helping them share best practices, access resources, and demonstrate their collective impact. ALoT actively works to connect communities with low-cost borrowing options that reduce consumption and waste, while also supporting environmental sustainability through resource sharing. The network maintains a web search portal at alotnetwork.org where individuals can find a Library of Things, Sharing Shed, or other community library near them, making it easier for Australians to participate in the circular economy.
Services and Support
The Australian Library of Things Network offers a range of public relations and communications services tailored to the unique needs of the Library of Things sector. While the organisation is primarily volunteer-driven, its activities include:
- Advocacy and public awareness campaigns for community sharing and waste reduction
- Impact measurement and reporting, including emissions reduction and waste diversion metrics
- Development of best-practice guides for starting and running a Library of Things
- Networking and community development support for local sharing initiatives
- Insurance and risk management resources for member libraries
- Partnership development with councils, businesses, and environmental organisations
- Promotion of borrowing platforms and web search portals to increase accessibility
These services are designed to help Libraries of Things scale their impact, secure funding, and demonstrate their value to communities and policymakers. ALoT also produces impact reports that quantify the environmental and social benefits of borrowing over buying, such as reductions in greenhouse gas emissions and landfill waste.
Who Benefits from the Network
The Australian Library of Things Network is an ideal resource for community groups, local councils, environmental organisations, and social enterprises looking to establish or grow a Library of Things. It is also highly relevant for businesses and policymakers interested in supporting the circular economy and waste reduction initiatives. For individuals, ALoT provides a centralised directory to find low-cost borrowing options for tools, kitchen equipment, kites, and other specialized items, making sustainable living more accessible. The network is particularly well-suited for those focused on community development, equitable access over ownership, and building resilient, connected neighbourhoods. By connecting these stakeholders, The Australian Library of Things Network plays a crucial role in accelerating Australia’s transition to net zero emissions while fostering a culture of sharing and resourcefulness.
