Come along to our second Yard Sale at Civic Street Yard to browse through tools to find yourself a bargain – cheap as chisels!

If you have any tools (preferably in working condition) that you want to donate, bring them along in advance or in the morning and we can sort through them and add them to our catalogue or sell them on the day to bring in money for the charity.

If you’re interested in having a stall selling second hand or vintage items, get in touch with Cat – cat@glasgowtoollibrary.com
