What is a Tool or Equipment Library?
A community tool library or library of things functions just like a public book library, but for tools, toys, and home equipment! Members sign up (often for free or a small annual donation) and can check out power saws, lawn mowers, tile cutters, pressure washers, and camping gear.
Avoid paying $300+ for single-use project tools.
Shared tools prevent idle garage clutter and landfill waste.
Access community workshops, repair cafes, and advice.
