Waste Less Tools & Repair

Have you ever heard of a Library of Things? What about a Tool Library? There are numerous ways to provide access for tools and equipment that we use infrequently. We want to reduce the consumption of things that will collect dust on a shelf and help put tools in people’s hands that will use them. 

A Library of Things is a collection of items such as kitchenware, musical instruments, and games hosted at a library that library patrons can check out with their Libraries. Some Oregon cities with a  Library of Things include Hillsboro, Beaverton, Sherwood, Wilsonville, and Corvallis.
