How does it work?
The tool library provides people with the tools they need for home repair and projects. It's a place for the community to share equipment and experience. You can learn more about tool libraries from this Ted Talk.
Members can check out items for a short period of time, just like a normal library. The checkout time depends on the item – some are in more demand than others! Use the "Lend Engine" tab to see our inventory
Get Involved
Since we're still in the planning phase, there is currently no process to join the tool library, but you can register your interest using this google form.
We are currently looking for the following:
- Tools (any that work!) along with accessories such as battery charging stations. Contact us at oshkoshtoollibrary@gmail.com to donate
- A big whiteboard
- Sturdy tables and chairs
- Coffee maker
- Volunteers
You can also check out the Repair Cafe Oshkosh, which occurs every few months. The next cafe is on September 6, 2025 at the downtown YMCA, and folks involved with the tool library will be there.
