We have lots of resources available at the Trefoil Centre available to be borrowed. This includes our series of Adventures in a Box, a range of recruitment materials, and two badge machines.
We are currently trialing a library loan system to make it easier for you to view what we have available and make a reservation for anything you’d like to borrow. You will need to register to access the library, so please read on to find out more…
To register – to be able use our library, you will need to register. To do this, please email us at resources@girlguidingleeds.org.uk giving your name, unit name and contact details (email, mobile and address).
Please only register once per unit – so all units have the chance to access the library.
You will need to reregister annually, but you will automatically receive an email asking you to renew.
To reserve and borrow an item – once you have registered you will have access to our online library. This will give you a full list of everything we have available to borrow, and you will be able to see if it’s available and when. Simply follow the instructions to reserve the item/s for the dates you need.
Please do not borrow items for too long (ideally no more than 2 weeks), to enable other units to borrow them. Ideally we would like items to be returned within a fortnight.
Cost of borrowing a resource – recruitment and promotional items are free to borrow; to help cover the cost of replacing contents and purchasing new resources there is a standard loan fee of £2.50; for some larger items the loan fee is £5.00.
Collection and return – most items are stored at the Trefoil Centre and you will need to arrange collection and return. To make this easier we now have a drop box located outside the depot, so collections and drop offs can be made 24/7. When you reserve an item we will give you the key code, so you can pick up and drop off on a day and time to suit you. Alternatively you can come when either the county office or the depot are open. We will agree this with you when you make a loan reservation.
Please ensure you return the items you have borrowed promptly and by the return date, so we can make them available for someone else.
This is new and whilst we have tested it there may occasionally be some hiccups – so please bear with us! If you have any feedback, please let us know by emailing resources@girlguidingleeds.org.uk
