Membership

What does my membership get me?
One full year of library lending love - take home your tools (7 calendar day rental period) & create to your heart's content! From paint sprayers to pressure washers - members have access to a huge selection of tools and accessories. If we don't immediately have it, we'll search far and wide for the tool you need.
-
How do I renew my membership?
Chat with your local librarian during open hours or renew online.
-
How much does a membership cost?
The goal is to make membership available for all while keeping a sustainable lending library open for our community. We do this by suggesting a $120 annual membership contribution. If this isn’t in your toolbelt, we also offer a sliding scale option based on 0.1% of your annual income (ex: if you make $40k/year consider $40). If a financial contribution doesn’t fit your wheelbarrow, talk with an LTL Librarian and consider membership via service through volunteering!

How many tools can I check out?
We call it the "ten and two rule" - ten hand tools and two power tools. Librarians reserve the right to allow larger rental quantities on a project-by-project basis. Let us know what you need and we’ll do our best to accommodate!
-
How long can I keep my tool?
Tools circulate for a seven calendar day lending period.
-
Can I renew my tool for another week?
Absolutely! As long as there isn't someone signed up on our waiting list. Give us a call or extend your borrow online through our circulation software.
-
Do you charge late fees?
Nope! However, if a tool is returned late we suggest a financial donation if able. Suggested late fees are NOT meant to be a barrier to borrowing and are in existence to ensure tools come back and are available for another member who might need them. The suggested donation of $1 per day post due-date helps to keep our library circulating.

How do I make donations?
Well thanks for thinking of us! Our library is a 100% member/donation funded project - all made possible due to community generosity. Reach out to us via email or in person during open hours to discuss any support or guidance.
-
How do I become involved?
We love volunteers! Signup online or visit us during open hours to chat with our librarians about volunteer opportunities.
-
Can I donate tools?
Yes please! We encourage you to dust off those unused tools and add to our ever-growing stash. Bring in your donations (clean and ready for borrowing adventures) during open library hours. Send us a message if you have any questions about donation.
Note: At this time we are unable to accept liquid materials or gas powered tools.
