New HandsOn New Orleans Website!

Hello All,

The HandsOn Staff has been working very hard getting our new website up.  Come by and visit the site, learn more about HandsOn as an organization outside of just the Tool Lending Library, sign up to volunteer on our new and improved calendar!  The new website is wonderful resource for non-profits and volunteers alike.  The website offers you an opportunity to create a volunteer profile and find specific projects that cater to how you want to volunteer.  You need to check it out and explore.

While your there, visit the Tool Lending Library's page and "Like" it on Facebook to spread the word about the TLL to all your Facebook friends.  And as always your welcome to spread the word to all your real world friends too, we wouldn't be who we are without such great members!

See You Soon,
Tool Lending Library Team

Important Information

Hello All, 

In an effort to get information to you as soon as possible, it is our responsibility to inform you that we will not be performing any check-outs May 27th-31st and June 4th-6th.  This is because of the large scale volunteer project we will be coordinating for the upcoming National Conference on Service and Volunteering on June 6th.  We apologize for any inconvenience that this might cause and ask you to plan ahead.  

It is also important to note that many of our tools will be dedicated to this project and we will be in fairly short supply of items from mid may until June 7th.  We ask that you please call us to ensure that the tool you are looking for will be in before coming into the TLL.   We will also be limiting extensions on many items, placing holds on other items and may ask for you to return certain tools early so that we may accommodate this very very large project.

If you are interested in Volunteering for the project on Monday June 6th (we will be doing improvements on 4 local parks) please contact Lindsay Nash at lnash@handsonneworleans.org or by phone 504.483.7041 ext 105    

Thank you for your cooperation and understanding and as always feel free to contact us with any questions

Free Respirators

Hello Members,

A little while ago we were gifted a ton of respirators and filters.  We have finally gotten around to sorting through them and would love to see them get some use.  What that means is we are giving away the respirators since they are not the easiest thing to lend and as an organization will never use all of them.  Stop by the HandsOn New Orleans Tool Lending Library today to pick up one or two or three.  

Sincerely,
Tool Lending Library Team

Over 300 members!

Hello all,

We here at the HandsOn New Orleans Tool Lending Library wanted to extend a thank you to all of our members and friends of the TLL.  This past month we passed 300 members.  Since we are a word of mouth organization at the moment, we understand that it is in large part a result of our members spreading the word.  So thank you and keep up the great work.  We look forward to seeing you all again soon!
