A volunteer-run tool library in Portland, Maine for garden, home, construction and kitchen tools. Open Saturdays 9-1 and Wednesdays 4-8.
The Maine Tool Library is a giant shared tool closet... that you can be a part of. We carry a wide array of home maintenance tools, yard/garden tools, and food project tools.
The Maine Tool Library (MTL) is a not-for-profit, volunteer-run lending library, circulating a collection of tools, including gardening, landscaping, home improvement, and kitchen tools in Portland Maine. This project is a membership-based community resource; it is a library for tools instead of books. Tools are loaned on a weekly schedule, allowing patrons to check them out during the library’s open hours with the expectation that they will then return them a week later. Acquisitions are strategically selected by elected members with continual opportunities for member input. MTL is a volunteer-run, self-governed entity which aims to be an inclusive network among laborers, designers, makers, crafters, artists and D.Y.I.ers in the vibrant Portland community.
