$40 – Intro Membership
This 4 punch card option is for members who only need a few tools, or just want to try us out.
HTL Intro membership gives an individual access to both the library and the workshop (with booking). Card expires after one year. Unlimited tool borrowing within the 4 visits.
Returns do not count as a punch. Visits to the workshop or loan visits to the library count against the 4 punches on the card. Only one member is allowed on this membership type – no secondary member.
New member cost: $42.50/year (includes activation fee)
Renewing member cost: $40/year
Community Membership Fund
This is a resource fund from which the HTL can draw to afford to offer low cost or free memberships to community members of modest means. Initially we plan to set aside $1 from each membership in the CMF to reimburse the general revenue fund annually. Fund will be reviewed quarterly to ensure this goal is being reached.
Please contact us at info@halifaxtoollibrary.ca for more details on how to access this fund.
Activation Fee
All new memberships will be charged a nominal activation fee. This fee will not be charged to members who renew at or before their anniversary date. A grace period of one month following the membership expiry date will be granted.
Beyond that, expired memberships will be asked to pay this fee when they pay for a new membership.
This fee supports our Workshop Basics program, the HTL’s sustainability goals, better ensures membership continuity and helps the HTL manage seasonal highs and lows we experience in revenue while maintaining the same level of service year-round.
Cost: $5 (annual memberships) or $2.50 (intro memberships) for new or expired members
