Working on the same principle as a traditional library, The Kitchen Library stands out by the articles offered by the association. The inventory of this not-for-profit association doesn't include books, but kitchen utensils and equipment. The catalogue contains small utensils such as baking tins and ice-cream moulds, as well as larger machines. Amongst these can be found electric hobs, mixers, bread-making machines, panini toasters and 36 cup electric coffee makers.
To borrow one of these objects, all you have to do is pay a 9 $ subscription each month (around 7€). The equipment can be reserved and borrowed for 7 days, by collecting it directly from The Kitchen Library premises in Toronto. In parallel, the association also offers cookery lessons in its premises. Whilst the concept was born in Canada, Dayna Boyer, the project's founder, and her team would like to see it cross borders, and offer to help people wishing to implement it in their countries.
