Items we're looking to add to the Library

We welcome donations of gently used or new outdoor equipment and / or cash funds if you are in the position to do so! We are currently fundraising for our summer season. You can donate with a credit card via our GoFundMe campaign or via Paypal. If you are able, we really need your financial support at this time to be able to keep doing what we’re doing.  

We welcome contributions of all kinds of items that encourage and support people to spend time outdoors. The following are desired items identified by the community: 

• adaptive equipment / mobility devices
• snowshoes
• x-country ski equipment (skis boots poles)
• skates and skating helmets
• ice grippers that attach to winter boots for traction
• walking poles for winter walking with ice picks
• park animation and recreation games kits for neighbourhood parks (hula hoops, badminton sets, soccer balls, spike ball, frisbees, bocce ball, etc.)
• reference guidebooks to identify flora/fauna
• binoculars
• nordic walking poles 
• hiking boots
• PFD lifejackets, paddles and dry sacks
• yoga mats/blocks 
• bicycles and bike tools
• baby carriers for taking little ones on longer hikes
• bike chariots / trailers
• slacklining equipment 
• rock climbing shoes
• summer and winter camping equipment
• fishing rods and tackle
• rain gear
• and more!

Although the Library space is not very large at 877A Boyd Ave., we welcome all donations. 

We have relationships with partner organizations and like-minded initiatives. Please contact us with what you'd like to donate, and if we can't accommodate it in the Library, we can make sure it finds an appropriate home with one of our partners. 

See a list of amazing organizations and initiatives on our "OOGL recommended orgs" page.
