IF YOU need anything from a
fridge to a chainsaw you will
be able to borrow it from a new
library planned for Lyttelton.
Organisers of the upcoming
Lyttelton Library of Tools and
Things, or LLOTT, are confident
that the Project Lyttelton
initiative will launch in mid-
December.
The library will work on a
subscription basis, either a $40
yearly fee or $20 and a Timebank
credit. Tools could
be booked out for a week at a
time.
Volunteer and Project Lyttelton
board member Stewart
Henry said the LLOTT team
would be at the December 8
Lyttelton Farmers Market for
expressions of interest.
He said the group already had
51 people who had confirmed
their intention to subscribe on
launch.
“We hope to double that on
December 8.”
The project had been in the
works for more than a year,
however, Mr Henry said recent
“passionate” additions to the volunteer
organising team had seen
the time line jump forward.
“It’s taking off now.”
As well as Mr Henry, LLOTT’s
staff included volunteer
Kevin Hurl and activator Paul
Dietsche.
Mr Henry said the launch
was dependent on finalising
the booking software and
uploading the contact details
of those who were interested in
subscribing.
Once launched, Mr Henry
said the library would be based
in a lock-up underneath the
board room. When a tear-drop
flag featuring LLOTT’s logo was
flying, people could come in to

book in person, Mr Henry
said.
“We’ve bought quite a few
tools, mostly battery operated,
and we’ve had more than 50
items donated to us recently.”
The group’s inventory
included gardening tools such as
spades, mowers and chainsaws,
construction tools like drills
and saws and mechanical tools
including vehicle ramps.
Mr Henry said they “also have
things” like tables and bar fridges.
User feedback would dictate
what else the group stocked.
“We’ll see what return we get
and use our money on chosen
items.”
He said LLOTT would
also provide safety gear and
instruction on how to safely use
the items.

A Beach Belle
This permanent material two bedroom unit has been thoroughly and thoughtfully renovated to a high standard,
maximising its durability, flexibility and charm. The open plan dining and living room connect to a lawn and patio
area that is both sheltered and sunny - a perfect place to entertain in or relax and read a book. The well planned
landscaping has provided well defined areas with space for a spa bath, veggie garden and BBQ area if those
features tickle your fancy. The newly appointment kitchen cleverly connects to the living room allowing you to
chatter with guests or connect with the garden views whilst preparing meals. The bathroom is sumptuously tiled
and both this and the kitchen have been furnished with underfloor heating ensuring toasty toes in the winter time. A
garage with an automatic door adds to the functionality of this wee gem.
