    Building a Tool Library in Los Angeles

    Los Angeles Tool Library will transform a vacant space in Central LA into a vibrant community hub where neighbors borrow tools, exchange skills, and connect with each other. By offering affordable, equitable access to high-quality tools and equipment as well as hands-on workshops led by experts and peers, we empower community members to learn, create, build, maintain and repair together. In doing so, we reshape our relationship to ownership, consumption, and creativity—building a more cooperative, resourceful community.
