We have an inventory of over 5,000 tools that you can check out just like you check out books from a book library. We help over 700 individuals and families a year complete projects they never thought possible - thanks to the power of sharing. And we offer DIY and traditional art classes as well as a community workspace for those who can better empower themselves in group settings.
