There will be some new procedures in place to keep everyone safe and healthy Marked spots on the driveway, so please be patient and chat with the vollies and other members (from a whipper snipper distance) until it's your turn... Tool quarantine - items dropped off cannot be reserved again until the following week Please reserve your items ahead of time so we can prep them for pick up So get online and start reserving things for your home adventures and projects! . . . #toollibrary #weareopen #sharingeconomy #motime #volunteer #fixit #diy #moustache #borrowdontbuy #innerwestisbest

21.01.2022 There are so many ways to volunteer with us. There's the regular Saturday morning shifts but also irregular working bees. Soda, lime and bitters and a pizza to keep us going on a mild spring evening. If you like tinkering with tools this might just be the thing for you. Get in touch if you're interested in joining our tinker team.

20.01.2022 (One of the) IWTL dream teams on today Laura doing the cleansing Dan being a great tool ninja Although Phil stole the show-- Phil waiting for chalk to appear... ... Phil "I'm not even here" And we have crutches!! See more

19.01.2022 In a time where you're more likely to be at home and wanting to do some DIY, we at the Inner West Tool Library have made the difficult decision to temporarily close until further notice - due to current and rapidly developing health and safety concerns surrounding COVID-19. Yes, this whole situation is bananas (in the words of star volunteer Jose ;) , but we'd rather keep safe. The health and wellbeing of our members, volunteers and community is very important. All members... will have received an email with more information, but in a nut shell - all current loans will be extended and all upcoming loans will be cancelled. Keep an eye on our website and social media for latest updates, including reopening. We appreciate your understanding and support Stay safe and see you on the flip side! From all of us at the IWTL

18.01.2022 How the sharing economy can help you reduce waste, save money and make new friends ! But we knew this already Great work David from the Gold Coast Tool Library Inc. - keep the good sharing vibes going!

New members Sam & Phil happy with their first borrow the pressure washer and hose , they heard about the tool library from their neighbours Vollies fixing things, helping people, and as always doing it with a smile And what a day to have an afternoon bevvie at the Petersham Bowling Club

16.01.2022 Craving a good conversation? Especially about tools? If you can't drop in on a Saturday morning to the tool library, why not listen in next Saturday 29 August to a great conversation about the share economy? Our esteemed leader Amy will be talking to Eli from ShareWaste, Inka from the Uni of Wollongong and Emma from the Green Living Centre as part of Inner West Council's Footprints Online event. Tune in at 12.40pm.

16.01.2022 Saturday morning adventures for Aaron, master tool fixer, and his beanie: thanking Louis for his donation of a café quality coffee grinder, cleaning out the whipper snipper, with air compressor (also repaired), and then a drink at the Petersham Bowling Club. Yes it is open folks! Come on down to experience the lovely new bar, and it even has some no alcohol beer for those of us who've been watching Shaun Micallef's on the Sauce (We digress, not one of Aaron's adventures!).

15.01.2022 #tooltuesday Items #304 and #305. Moving house or tricky guests? These adjustable straps could be just what you're looking for. Super long (#305 is 2 x 1.7m) and super strong (#304 holds 650kg). Tool librarian not included.

08.01.2022 Sometimes you struggle to open a door, sometimes you struggle to close it - the Inner West Tool Library can help you with both! One of our vollies couldn't shut the side gate at her place so she borrowed an old style hand planer and a belt sander and got to work. The result - gate closed. Still needs a lick of paint, but not too much, don't want it getting stuck again.
