Thad’s M.I.L.L

We Operate Thad’s Musical Instrument Lending Library

Thad played many musical instruments including piano, guitar, drums, and the trumpet.

Thanks to community support and musical instrument donations in August 2023 we opened Thad’s M.I.L.L (Thad’s Musical Instrument Lending Library).

Thad’s M.I.L.L is currently at the Leduc Arts Foundry’s location in the Leduc Recreation Centre (4330 Blackgold Drive). We are open Monday to Friday during the Leduc Arts Foundry’s regular hours. Scroll down to see our calendar and hours.

Who Can Become A Thad’s M.I.L.L Member?

Anyone living within Leduc County (including the communities within Leduc County borders) can join Thad’s M.I.L.L. There’s a fee of $20/year for an account. This is valid for one person for one year.

Those under 16 will need a parent/guardian to sign up for an account and to borrow items.

Loans From Thad’s M.I.L.L

A Thad’s M.I.L.L member can borrow one musical instrument at a time. Each loan is valid for up to 6 weeks, and can be renewed once for another 6 weeks.

Our musical instruments at Thad’s M.I.L.L come with a bag or case. Some may come with additional accessories. Amps may be available to take out with guitars (electric or acoustic).

Thad’s M.I.L.L operates thanks to volunteers. We are unable to hold instruments.

Long-term Instrument Loans For Kids/Youth In Music Lessons

Depending on instrument availability, we may be able to provide long-term instrument loans only for children and youth (7-22) whose families are facing financial constraints.

How To Become A Thad’s M.I.L.L Member?

  • Come down to the Leduc Arts Foundry (4330 Black Gold Drive, Leduc) during their regular operating hours. This is where Thad’s M.I.L.L is located. It’s best to park on the east side of the LRC as the east doors (side closest to the field houses) are the closest entrance for Thad’s M.I.L.L
  • Talk to the staff/volunteer at the front desk about becoming a Thad’s M.I.L.L member. You’ll fill out a registration form and read and agree to our terms and conditions. If you’re under 16 you’ll need a parent/guardian to fill these out on your behalf
  • Be sure to have ID (to verify address) and payment for the account. We accept cash or e-transfer, but we suggest cash ($20 exact change) as e-transfer payments can take up to 48 hours to verify before a member is allowed to borrow an instrument.
  • Once the forms are filled out, the terms and conditions read, and payment is verified you’ll be a Thad’s M.I.L.L member and can then borrow an instrument
  • If you have any questions or want more information please contact us.

Please Note: Thad’s M.I.L.L is open during the Leduc Arts Foundry’s regular hours at their LRC location. However, since the Foundry is supported by a team of dedicated volunteers with varying roles, not all will be familiar with the Thad’s M.I.L.L processes, including how to signup a member and loan out an instrument.

We’ve created a calendar to show the general hours when Thad’s M.I.L.L is open (shown in blue) and specific hours when a Thad’s M.I.L.L volunteer is in (shown in yellow). These hours are subject to change. Thad’s M.I.L.L will be closed on weekends and holidays.
