Leila: Italy’s First Library of Things
As Italy’s first Library of Things, Leila champions a collaborative, eco-conscious model by enabling communities to borrow tools, appliances, and gear instead of buying them. This approach reduces waste, lowers costs, and builds trust through shared responsibility. Through object sharing, Leila redefines ownership and prioritises access over possession, strengthens social ties and empowers communities. Its innovative vision demonstrates how resource-sharing creates a more connected, equitable, and sustainable society.
