Our first AGM, "The State of the Toolbox"

• Thanks for all of the community support, especially from: HUB Ottawa, Bridgehead, Maker House Co, Onshoring Ventures and Invest Ottawa, Makerspace North, Awesome Ottawa, and Soup Ottawa, among others
• The survey received 128 (55/73) responses; it wasn't statistically representative, but did give us an indication about what you feel is working well and what can be improved
• We're doing well and growing, but not yet sustainable – but we need your help growing our membership, encouraging those who would benefit to join the OTL
• You want us to offer more hours, services and programming; but to do that, we need your time, energy, and enthusiasm as volunteers
• We need great volunteers to support our library operations, marketing (esp. social media) efforts, fundraising, member outreach, volunteer coordination, and other roles
• We've already held great joint initiatives with StopGap, RightBike, Pinecrest-QueenswayCommunity Health's FutureBuilders – and just recently, Vanier Museopark
• We're always looking for sources of funding, corporate sponsorships and donations (esp. in-kind), and people willing to help with the grant writing process
