A new library has been set up in Oxford but there isn't a book in sight.
Instead of leafing through novels and encyclopaedias, users will be able to check out a far more action-packed directory.
People who use Oxford City Council's new sports equipment library will be able to borrow a vast array of sporting equipment ranging from football and netball posts, to volleyball nets, racquets and footballs.
Darren Rogers, the city's sports development officer, said: "This new resource means that many youth and community groups will be able to borrow a wide range of sporting equipment, which would otherwise be beyond their means."
