Ivybridge Library

02/09/2026

We are excited to be working with the amazing team at the Share Shed - A Library of Things to mean that it is easier to collect and return items borrowed from the Share Shed.

- Reserve your item online from collection from Ivybridge.
- Tell the Share Shed Team you would like to collect from the library.
- Collect your item from (and return it to) the library during library opening hours when it suits you.

🎉 EXCITING NEWS FOR IVYBRIDGE! 💚

We’re teaming up with Ivybridge Library, Libraries Unlimited and CAG Devon to make borrowing from Share Shed even easier! 📚🌱

You’ll now be able to collect and return your Share Shed reservations at the Ivybridge Library, giving you more flexibility beyond our weekly van opening hours.

✨ How does it work?
1️⃣ Become a member and reserve your item online at www.shareshed.org.uk (select the Ivybridge slot on Thursday morning).
2️⃣ If you’d like to collect or return your reservation at the library, simply contact us at [email protected] or 07516 908237.
3️⃣ Visit the Ivybridge Library during its opening hours to collect or return your item (a friendly staff member will be able to assist you).

📅 Library opening hours:
* Monday: 9am–6pm
* Tuesday: 9am–5pm
* Thursday: 9am–6pm
* Friday: 9am–5pm
* Saturday: 9am–1pm
* Closed Wednesdays & Sundays

🚐 Our Share Shed van will still be at Ivybridge Market every Thursday, from 10am to12 noon, at Glanvilles Mill Car Park.

Most of our hand-carried items can be collected through this new service - from drills and sanders to party kits, gardening equipment, dehumidifiers and much more! 🛠️🎉🌿

Larger items, such as gazebos, wood shredders and carpet cleaners will still need to be collected from the van.

A huge thank you to Ivybridge Library for helping us make borrowing, sharing and saving money even more accessible to our local community. 💚

Borrow, don’t buy. Share, repair, connect. 🌍

The smoothie bike was a great success at the library last week, and all the kids (and adults!) went away with a healthy and tasty drink. Thank you to for lending us the bike.

Attendees had a fun and informative time at our RNLI talk on how to stay safe in the water, and enjoyed getting messy at the craft afterwards. Thank you so much to the for raising awareness of this important issue.
