Two London DJs have turned their love of vinyl records into a project that benefits the whole community.
Sophie Austin and Ellie Rendell were constantly trying to build up their vinyl collections for DJing gigs, then had the idea that a library-type rental service would be a great way to pool their resources with other music fans.
The Vinyl Library opened yesterday in Stoke Newington in northwest London.
After either paying a small membership fee or donating some of their vinyl to the store's collection, members may borrow up to five records at a time.
Austin and Rendell soon plan to screen music documentaries in the space and offer DJ lessons, especially to other women.
They're open every day from 11-9 and are staffed by volunteers, so stop by and check out this welcome addition to the Hackney music scene.
The Vinyl Library is now open at Unit 1, Foulden Road, London N16 7UU, from 11am-9pm, Monday-Sunday
