Visit your library to cut your electricity bills

A trip to a Lambeth library could help you cut household energy bills and save money.

On top of being able to choose from the fantastic range of books, CDs and DVDs, library users will be able to borrow special devices called OWLs which monitor how much electricity is being used in the home and how much it is costing.

The monitors are easy to fit without any technical knowledge and come with a portable display showing how much electricity is being used in pounds per hour, or alternatively CO2 emissions.

This is part of our efforts to help residents cut their energy bills and carbon emissions. The monitors are now available from all of Lambeth's libraries. They can be borrowed for a maximum of three weeks at a time. A £5 deposit will be required which is fully refundable when the device is returned complete. Normal late charges apply. Please be aware that the monitors are not appropriate for all homes and require the electricity supply meter to be within the property.
