Library of Things

To encourage waste reduction, energy efficiency, and borrowing instead of buying, the Sustainability & Resilience Department is partnering with the Santa Barbara Public Library to expand its Library of Things.

By providing puzzles, games, tools, musical instruments, telescopes, BCycle passes, and more FREE to the community, participants are saving money and helping to reduce waste.

Community members can borrow an induction cooktop kit that includes compatible cookware (a pot and lid). The kit also includes a magnet to test your pots and pans at home to see if they will work with the cooktop - if the magnet sticks, you can cook with it!
