Discover something new with Myli's Library of Things!

At Myli, we believe libraries are for sharing more than just books. Our Library of Things collection is designed to give you access to useful items you might only need occasionally. By borrowing instead of buying, you can try before you buy, save money, reduce waste, and make more sustainable choices. It's a way for our communities to share resources, cut down on clutter, and enjoy things that might otherwise only be used once or twice.

The collection is also about learning, fun, and creativity. You'll find kits and items that help you explore new hobbies, bring people together, and spark curiosity. From cooking and crafting, to games, science, and beyond.

If you would like to provide feedback about our Library of Things collection or suggest a new item, please use this form: Library of Things Feedback Form
