How It Works

A Tool Library functions like a book library, except tools or other project materials are checked out instead of books. The borrowing period is one week, with an option to extend, unless there is high seasonal demand.

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 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. ​

donating Tools

We accept well-loved electric & manual powered tools. Please email us at [email protected] before bringing in tools.
NO Gas
  • We do not store gas-powered tools in our space, for safety reasons, and to reduce the usage of greenhouse-gas emitting tools.

  • We do not accept
    • ​​nickle cadmium (NiCd)
    • nickle metal hydride (NiMH)
  • We can accept lithium ion (Li-Ion) battery tools WITH working chargers only

  • We keep a limited stock of oversized and difficult to transport tools. If you have a stationary saw, extension ladder, or other oversized tool that is not on our wish list, email us at [email protected] 

Working?

Working tools in our inventory often need replacement. We are proud to be your first stop for working tool donations.

Notice: We May Sell your donation

We are happy to accept as many donations as we can to reduce waste and landfilling, but our space is limited. Some overstock tools may be sold to support library operations.

Broken?

 We are currently accepting a limited supply of repairable tools.
Will the help of a Metro Investments & Innovations Grant, we are making improvements to our repair, recovery, and disposal processes which allow us to take in more non-working tools.
​Please email us at
