Toronto Tool Library, Tool library in Toronto, Canada.
Toronto Tool Library is a lending facility for tools and equipment in Toronto. The collection includes everything needed for repairs, renovations, gardening work, and daily maintenance tasks.
Founded in 2012, this project became part of a growing network of tool-sharing facilities across North America. The movement emerged from the idea that resources work better when shared rather than owned individually.
Members gather for monthly workshops to learn techniques and share their project experiences with others. A community of people helping and learning from each other develops naturally in this space.
Members pay an annual fee and can borrow tools for set periods. If the return date falls on a closed day, the borrowing period automatically extends.
The facility houses not just the tool collection, but also a market where products made by local artisans are sold. This connects people who have just finished their projects with finished goods from other makers.
