This time next month, this will be a tool library!

We've been busy working at our new location, 2 Taylors Rd Morningside. There's still plenty to do, but the end is in sight (and so is our lease agreement at Newton Rd).

In order to move, check and organize over 1600 items, ALoT will be closed from Saturday 17th October until Monday 26th. Our last open day at Newton Rd will be Friday 16th October, please reserve any items you need over our closedown period. We will be open again from Tuesday 27th October at 2 Taylors Rd.

Thanks for your support, we look forward to seeing you at our new space!

Do you do all 5 steps?

A big shout out to all the Community Recycling Centres, and Tool Libraries making it possible to be a second-hand specialist!
