Brian is our new WebStore Coordinator!! Once the library opens, we will have a whole section dedicated to selling items that have been donated to us that we cannot use. We love seeing the circular economy in action!! Brian has been a familiar face around the OTL for years and he’s been a huge help with getting our new home up and running. So glad you’re on our team, Brian!!! 🤩🚴🏻🛠

Looking for a fun activity weekend activity to share with your kids?! We've brought back our popular 🧰toolbox kit workshop 🧰for April 25. Kids will get to build their own wooden toolbox and join us for a complementary virtual workshop where we’ll learn how to assemble it together.

This kit comes with all the materials you need to build your toolbox, including fasteners, and pre-cut recycled wood.

Kits will be available for curbside pick-up only at OTL's new location. Once you have purchased your ticket you will be contacted with detailed curbside pick-up instructions.
