How It Works
A Tool Library functions like a book library, except tools or other project materials are checked out instead of books. We also have a seed library and a FREE BIN for tools and garden supplies. We promote access over ownership, which is more economical and sustainable for renters and homeowners alike.
We also encourage a culture of repair and creative reuse to reduce waste and consumption. Every week, our members are given the opportunity to save money by simply borrowing the tools they need to complete their home improvement projects.
