What is a Tool Library?
A Tool Library works just like a normal library, but instead of books, you are able to borrow from a wide array of tools and equipment. Our aim is to save the local community the expense, hassle, storage space and resources required to buy new items.
You can borrow
DIY tools
Garden tools
Party/event items
Board games
and much more!
How Does It Work?
1. Sign up as a member online (yearly membership starts from only £10*)
2. Browse our inventory and reserve your tool in advance through our online catalogue on MyTurn.
3. Collect your tool during your chosen Tool Library session. If it’s your first time borrowing you will need to email a proof of address and photo ID.
4. Return your tool to us a week later at the same time you took it. Need the tool for longer? Just extend your booking online.
*We want the Tool Library to be an accessible resource for everyone in our community so please do speak to us if you feel unable to commit to our fees.
Do you take donations?
Yes! In fact, the vast majority of our inventory has been donated by members of the local community. As we have a substantial inventory now, contact us to see if your donation fulfils a need within the Library tools@trust-linlithgow.org.uk
Newly donated tools are refurbished by our Tool Rescue volunteers, fully PAT tested and added to our Tool Library inventory. If we cannot use the tools donated, we will pass them on to other reuse charities such as Garvald or Tools with a Mission. Any excess tools may be sold, to raise funds to keep our Tool Library running.
