Brunswick Tool Library, Inc

Brunswick Tool Library, Inc Need Tools? Why buy when you can borrow? The Brunswick Tool Library - just like a library, but for tools!

The Brunswick Tool Library Inc (BTL) is like a traditional library, but with tools instead of books. It is a non-profit membership organisation providing residents of Merri-bek and surrounds with access to an ever-growing inventory of quality DIY, gardening and craft tools. For some of our members it is a way of accessing tools they can’t otherwise afford, and others it is a means of pooling resou

rces they are only going to use once in a while. The Tool Library is a way to reduce consumption, to connect communities and to learn from one another.
