Membership to the Minnesota Tool Library!

Enjoy a one-year membership to the Minnesota Tool Library, with a branch right in NE Minneapolis on Central Ave & 18th Ave. You can borrow home improvement tools for up to 7 days at time (with renewals, just like your public library!) and access to a fantastic woodworking shop and helpful staff & volunteers too! It's gets better, this membership level also includes complimentary Basic Classes where you can learn about woodworking, plumbing, electrical and other hobby & home improvement skills. :)

The Minnesota Tool Library is a cooperative, volunteer-driven nonprofit that offers our community Access Over Ownership. We believe you don’t need to privately own costly tools that clutter cupboards, basements and garages... it's a waste of space, money and resources that could be better utilized by building in community. Instead we share tools and trade skills with one another to empower eachother and help create a more resilient and equitable community. MTL'ers enjoy low-cost access to the tools we need to repair and maintain our homes, build our businesses, and invest in our communties, by borrowing items from our shared library. It's as simple as checking out a book - and our inventory is vast. Moreover, we engage eachother to expand our collective skill set - offering both formal classes and informal mentoring and project advice. Everyone from novice to skilled craftsperson is welcome - we'll help you along the way. Whether you're looking to tackle some home-improvement tasks, enjoy a hobby, build a business, or try that Pinterest project - we have the tools, shared space, and support to help make your DIY dreams a reality.
