The Australian Library of Things Network, with fantastic support from Gateway Bank, is proud to present Australia's first ever summit for Libraries of Things in 2026!
Summit Events
Saturday 1 August - Workshops
8:30am - 4:30pm
We kick off with a full day of interactive workshops focussed on starting and running a library of things in Australia. Workshops have been designed and led by people already running LoTs around Australia. Bring your curiosity, your questions and your enthusiasm.
Speakers include local LoT leaders, with appearance by special guest Gene Hominicki from MyTurn lending software.
Saturday Night - LoTFest!
6pm - 8:30pm (kick-ons optional!)
Come and celebrate all things sharing with us at LoTFest! This summit is an incredible milestone for our sector - so we want to share the joy of being together in person with LoT lovers far and wide.
This is a party, with food, drinks and a speech or two, but mostly we want you to come and connect with other people who are as passionate about community sharing as we are. The only criteria for attendance is you must love libraries of things!
Sunday 2 August - Sydney LoTs Tour
9am - 12:30pm
Join a guided mini-bus tour of some truly innovative Libraries of Things in Sydney, with hosts from Inner West Tool Library and Sydney Library of Things.
Excited? Us too!
