Why a Tool Library?

Libraries of ‘things’ have been growing in popularity as an antidote to waste, the excess of consumerism, and the issue of ongoing inequality.

For a minimal annual fee of $20, all members will be able to borrow items as and when they need them. Tools are often expensive and for many people do not represent a meaningful investment, in that they may only be used a handful of times, are for one project, or are only used at certain times of the year. The Tool Library will not only promote a sharing economy but will also empower the residents of the Capital Region by showing them how to use the tools.

In short, our aim for the Tool Library is to:

> Provide tools to make home maintenance and preservation more accessible to all

> Empower individuals by teaching them skills

> Create an active sharing economy and community

> Help the Environment
