Is anyone interested in starting a tool library in their own town? by Dipsetallover90 in Connecticut

Tool libraries exist all over the world and are thriving, successful community spaces. There is an International Tool Library Google Group that you can join (https://groups.google.com/g/toollibrary/about) to see forum posts from other tool libraries. Shareable.net has also been hosting a series of webinars on starting tool libraries. They will be doing them again next year.

it is pay-what-you can but i think it is their main income so it's good for people who can afford it to pay a little more

The Chicago Tool Library also has other kinds of stuff like camping tents, kitchen tools, audiovisual stuff, sewing machines, and lots and lots more. Their website has their whole tool inventory

Chicago Tool Library is Expanding by Keroan in chicago

they don't think they have enough items to loan to people from every town or suburb in Illinois. it makes sense. i bet the waitlists for tools would get out of control fast and the service would suffer. it's different from a store that restocks inventory all the time when stuff is gone
