Linlithgow Tool Library

Linlithgow Tool Library will be open over the Easter Weekend but we might be working with fewer volunteers.

Our volunteers have been busy looking at stock levels and consumables with a view to sell on some items that are never being hired and also to ensure there’s at least a few blades and bits with each item. This will take time to check as we have a large inventory.

Garden Tools are popular right now as the weather improves. Please make sure all tools are clean when returned to help us keen the whole LCDT Hub clean and also to speed up turnaround time. Especially tools that have been in the soil or cutting grass, etc.

We’ve replaced our rolling lawn aerator as the old one was well worn. Hopefully the new one will last us many years of use.

Did you know that you can borrow a reusable party pack from our Tool Library?

In the past year our party pack has saved a whopping 7655 single use items which is a huge increase on last year's total of 864!

It is also listed on the Party Kit Network, a site that encourages party hosts to choose reusable items rather than disposable plastic plates, cups etc.

Our pack is available to book here,

We also have other items available such as champagne flutes, wine glasses, board games and bunting! 🥂♟🎲🧩

Holiday season doesn’t seem to impact tool hires. We have over 15% of our stock out on loan right now which is keeping us busy managing transactions, servicing items when they return and reviewing stock levels too.

Over the next week we will be adding some shelving to make it a bit easier to store garden tools and carpet cleaners.
So expect a little chaos while we move items around.
