We have jobs suitable for all skill levels, though of course if you're an experienced woodworker/gardener please let us know! We will be working from 10 am-2 pm and we invite people to stay for as long as they like. Lunch and refreshments will be provided. 

This is part of Historic Albany Foundation's #ToolLibraryAlbany program, where we have over 500 tools for members to borrow. Membership is $20 for the year and the library is staffed completely by volunteers.  The aim of the Tool Library is to make home maintenance and preservation accessible, build a community, empower through teaching DIY skills, and be more sustainable.
