'share shops' in the Netherlands
I have heard of these so-called 'share shops' in the Netherlands whereby for a small contribution of an item (not specified), you are able to join a library and borrow, for a short time, an item you need.
Does anyone know what these shops are really called? I'd like to travel to see them myself with a view to setting one up in Scotland.
