What is a tool library?
A tool library is similar to a book library: it is a collection of tools that you can check out, use for a while, and then return. The term “tools” is used broadly to include any items that someone might use on an irregular basis such as the usual woodworking and gardening tools, but also tools for cooking, food preservation, sewing, and even special events. Tool libraries provide community access to a wide variety of tools, training, and sustainable resources. By sharing items rather than owning them each individually, we reduce waste and increase community connections.
Seattle REconomy's vision for the tool library is larger than simply making tools available to borrow, however. They intend to host workshops to help people learn various skills from using the tools in the library to fixing broken items. They hope to use the tool library to collaborate with other groups in the neighborhood and to serve as a resource to increase community resilience and connectedness.
