At Here Self Storage, we’ve always seen ourselves as more than just a storage provider. We’re proud to be part of the communities we serve – supporting families, local businesses, students, and everyone in between. We’re here to make life simpler, and sometimes, that starts with something as small (but powerful) as a book.
That’s why we’ve introduced a new initiative in all of our store receptions: our very own community library. It’s a welcoming space where anyone can take a book and, if they’d like, leave a book for others to enjoy.
A Space for Stories, Open to All
Reading is one of life’s simplest joys. It opens minds, sparks imaginations, and allows us to see the world through different eyes. With our community library bookshelves, we want to encourage people of all ages to rediscover the magic of reading – whether that’s a children’s picture book, a gripping crime novel, or a thoughtful biography.
Our in-store libraries are free to use and open to everyone – not just our customers. You don’t need to sign up, check anything out, or return the book within a set time. Just pop in, have a browse, and take whatever speaks to you. And if you have a book you’ve loved and want to pass on, leave it behind for someone else to discover.
Giving Back to the Community
We know that not everyone has easy access to books at home, and local libraries aren’t always nearby. That’s why our community library is designed to be accessible, informal, and inclusive – giving everyone an equal opportunity to read, learn and grow.
Whether you’re visiting one of our stores to organise a move, pick up boxes, or simply dropping by, our reception library shelves are always there. A small gesture, yes – but one that can make a real difference.
By sharing books, we’re not just passing along stories – we’re fostering connection, curiosity, and community spirit.
More Than Storage
Our mission at Here has always been about going the extra mile. Yes, we offer safe, flexible storage solutions – but we also care about the people who walk through our doors. From local partnerships to initiatives like our community library, we’re committed to creating spaces where people feel welcome and supported.
The books on our reception shelves are there to be shared, enjoyed, and loved again and again. It’s our way of giving back and helping to bring people together, one book at a time.
So next time you’re in-store, take a moment to explore our community library. You never know what story you might take home – or what story you’ll leave behind.
Here for your things. Here for your community. Here for you.
