ANNUAL TOOL SALE is NEXT WEEKEND! ~ WHY?
~ Thanks to the incredible generosity of our community, we may end up with multiples of the same item. We would love to house every tool we see, but our space has limitations. We keep the best versions for the library and find new homes for the duplicates.

~At our once-a-year sale, your purchases directly fund the overhead for our rent, insurance, and buying tools from our wish-list.

This entire operation is fueled by our amazing volunteers who sort, test, and polish donations and help you choose and check-out from thousands of items for your next project.

If you have a tool question or want to be a VTL Librarian, drop us a note at [email protected]. Thank you for your support and see you next weekend!
