Hamiltonians are being encouraged to get crafty with new DIY library kits.

From tomorrow tool kits, baking kits, sewing machines and board games will be available to hire from Chartwell and Central Library for 50 cents a week.

Hamilton City Council libraries spokeswoman Rebecca Whitehead says she's really excited about the new kits.

"We're definitely hoping it will encourage them to be more creative and engage with the library in a different way."
