Holiday Season Closure Period

The library will be closed for the holiday season, with our last day of trading this year being Saturday 21 December, 10am-2pm. We will reopen on Monday 6 January. You will be able to borrow items for this whole period, and we will adjust any due dates within this period so that they are due back when we reopen.

Note: if you’re making a reservation on or after 16 December, the system will not automatically choose Saturday 21 December as the return date. Pick that date and we will adjust the return date accordingly.

See below for the due dates:

Empowering the community

BTL is a volunteer-led non-profit initiative that provides the tools and education needed to repair and care for your home and belongings. We believe everyone deserves the right to build and repair the things they own - not just those who can afford the tools.

Learn to DIY

No matter your skill-level, our workshops will empower you to transform your project ideas into reality. From welding to camper-van conversions: we supply the tools and knowledge to build your confidence, as well as your project.

Time, tools, dollars, or knowledge

BTL is a volunteer-led initiative that exists because of the generous support from you: our vibrant community. Learn how you can help us promote the causes of sustainability, waste reduction, community building, and resource sharing.
