Kloth - Kernow Library Of Things

A Library of Things works like a normal library. But instead of borrowing books, you can borrow tools, kitchen equipment, camping gear in fact, pretty much anything. The kind of things that you might not own, only use occasionally, or perhaps, can’t afford. We want to move away from the idea that in order to use things we have to own them and having a Library of Things means that everyone in a community shares stuff as and when they need to, instead of storing things away in homes. This year has shown more than ever how important community is. And supporting our project also helps as we hurtle ever closer to climate breakdown. Because a Library of Things also means buying less, repairing more and having greater respect for resources, our environment and our planet. In September, with help from Penryn Town Council, we opened the first KLOTH branch in Penryn. Local people have already donated some incredible things. Now, we’re crowdfunding to keep the project running and build up the library with some really useful, but expensive, things.

North Harrow Community Library

North Harrow Community Library is an exciting new initiative which came about through the coming together of a group of local people following the closure of the council run library. We want to provide a community hub as well as a centre of literacy and learning in the modern world of multimedia communication. Through continued community engagement we have negotiated a lease on the former library, secured initial start-up funding, formed a board of trustees opened a bank account and recruited a team of about 100 volunteers.

It brings together a multidisciplinary team of writers, journalists and former journalists, researchers, academics, health and law specialists, a photographer, and proofreaders, etc, all passionate about their work. Pluton-Magazine is a multi-cultural magazine, considers that everything published falls within the framework of cultural heritage. The use of the photos is not subject to any financial dealings being that the magazine is open to all public. Pluton-Magazine intends to make its heritage contribution by making its publications available to teachers, students, and National Education. The use of documents published by Pluton-Magazine for academic purposes does not require prior agreement. Distanced from the immediate news, Pluto-Magazine takes an offbeat and critical look at the world, trying to account for its diversity and complexity. In tribute to the recent discoveries by NASA after the launch of the New Horizon probe, the publication director named the magazine after Pluto accompanied by the slogan Explorer-Discover-Observer.

Fiction Explorer

Do you ever find yourself wondering what to read next? Our aim at Fiction Explorer is to enhance your enjoyment of reading by providing suggestions of new authors who write in a similar style to your favourite novelists. Our online tools, Who Else Writes Like…? and Who Next…, can provide you with lots of ideas for your next read. Who Else Writes Like…? is a readers’ guide to adult fiction designed to answer the question “I’ve read all the books by this author, whose books can I try next?” Who Next…? is an equivalent tool for children’s fiction, designed to help parents, teachers, librarians and children themselves, to find new stories for them to enjoy. Our online tools are available in public libraries and schools across the World, where they are considered to be the go-to reference tool in advising readers. Unlike other sites offering book suggestions largely based on sales data, our resources are widely respected for being informed by a team of fiction experts and for being regularly reviewed and updated.
