West Ryde Library and its after-hours chutes are closed until further notice for essential safety repairs following a water leak from a nearby property. Our other libraries are still open.
There is a wide variety of online communities that promote the gifting of pre-loved items, reducing the impact on our environment. Here are a few.
The Buy Nothing Project was founded in 2013 with the mission to build community by connecting people through hyperlocal gifting, and reducing our impact on the environment. Everything shared on Buy Nothing is given freely.
There are a number of local Buy Nothing community groups on Facebook operating across the City of Ryde. Search on Facebook to find a group near you.
Pay it forward (or PIF) is an expression for when the recipient of an act of kindness does something kind for someone else rather than simply accepting or repaying the original good deed. There are many 'Pay It Forward' community groups on Facebook that focus on gifting preloved items. Search on Facebook to find a group near you.
