I love this place! I moved here from CA and never heard of a tool library. On my first visit, I was hooked, signed up and been happily borrowing tools all year long. I just renewed my membership and tell all my neighbors about it. The staff and volunteers are incredibly helpful!

Name a tool; yard, shop or construction and I'd bet you'll find it at the tool library. Don't buy or rent when you can use the tool library.

Superb humans right here. Helpful, patient and this is just some kind stuff right here. Do you actually need to own a thing that you might need 1-5 years apart. I have enough stuff, accumulating stuff is so 1980's

Not only is this a great place for tools, it is a great place for bikes. If you need a nicely reconditioned bike, some advice on your current ride, or some work on it; this is the place!
Andre knows bikes and is there to help most Saturdays 9-12. Labor rates is an unbeatable at $20/hr!

Love having a tool library in the neighborhood, especially with more than just tools! We've checked out a pressure washer, sewing machine, board games, puzzles, tables for a BBQ. Such a money saver and wonderful community!

The Shoreline Tool Library has a wide selection of tools that are perfect for home projects. They also have outdoor power and hand tools for cleaning up your property. It's a great local resource and their membership fees are more than reasonable!

These folks are really nice, knowledgeable, and interested in what projects your working on. They've been a great resource for those home projects where you only need a tool for this one thing. I think NESTL has saved me a few hundred on tool purchases, plus the environmental benefits of reducing consumption.
