What’s New at ALoT

Have you been in to see us lately? Our inventory is growing rapidly and our new(ish) corner of Hackland is already full to the brim! Luckily for us, our lawnmowers and gardening equipment are flying out the door. If you’re keen to get stuck into your garden this spring, make sure you reserve items before dropping by for all your DIY needs.

Did you know we have an A1 colour printer at the tool library? If you would like to print something, send us an email for prices or drop in during open hours. We aim to keep prices as low as possible for you.

ALoT on Tour

ALoT Co-founder, Amanda, recently visited Iceland, where she and a friend drove and camped around the Ring Road. Instead of borrowing camping gear from the tourist hire places, Amanda became a member of the Reykjavik Tool Library. “It was great to be able to support another tool library and save ourselves money. The lovely founder of the tool library, Anna, is also into reducing waste and loaned us a few extra waste saving items.”

Amanda and Tom also took the opportunity to visit the Brunswick Tool Library in Melbourne last month, which has been open since 2013.
