Sustainable clothing library scheme expands to Shrewsbury Library

Overview

The 'With Love From' sustainable clothing initiative, which allows people to borrow free outfits from libraries like books, has expanded from Oswestry to Shrewsbury Library. Run by Lizzie Dibble and supported by library manager Katherine Berry, the scheme offers a wide range of free occasionwear to help with environmental sustainability and the cost of living.

Key points

  • The 'With Love From' clothing library initiative has expanded to Shrewsbury Library, following its success in Oswestry since late 2024.
  • People can borrow free outfits, including womenswear, menswear, and childrenswear, and return them after their events.
  • The project aims to promote sustainability, respect for clothing, and help people dealing with the cost of living.
  • Unfixable items from the scheme are repurposed in clothing workshops to keep materials in circulation.
