Tool Lending Library

What is it?

Missing a tool to complete your home project or in need of supplies for a sub-neighborhood community clean-up? The Midtown’s tool lending provides no cost access to home and garden tools to help with many home tasks. We are reducing the cost-related barriers to home improvements and encouraging community sharing. Our tool library is housed at 1147 East Fulton Street right next to the Fulton Street Farmers Market. Feel free to stop by for a tour or to borrow a tool for your next home project!
