As of Thursday, January 14th, our operating hours and reservation system will remain unchanged. We will continue to be open from 4-6pm on Tuesday and Thursday with pre-scheduled appointments. Members will be able to continue borrowing up to ten items at a time for up to a week at a time. Loan extensions can be provided on request as long as the item has not been reserved by another member. We will continue to require 48 hours notice on all reservation requests.![]()
In order to discourage unnecessary travel, we are asking members to use their discretion when it comes to borrowing items, and to only borrow items essential to repair, renovation, food preparation/preservation, or other essential activities.![]()
Please do not visit the GTL or borrow tools if you are feeling any COVID-19 symptoms. If you need to edit, cancel or change your reservation, please do so as soon as possible, as reservations cannot be edited same-day. No-show reservations will not be held, and you must re-book your tools. ![]()
Returns and donation drop offs do not require an appointment, but contact tracing information must be provided.
We are beginning to collect phones for the re-launch of the Good Call program. Drop them off at the GTL while picking up or dropping off tools, or send us an email to schedule a pickup or drop off. We can accept cell phones in any condition.
