Learn more about the TTL

Since its creation in 2012, the Tool Library has been on a mission to explore the benefits of sharing resources and skills. Part of a broader tool sharing movement, 40 other tool libraries have been founded across North America since 2012. TTL is a non-profit organisation, consisting of a small staff and much larger community of supporters.

What does TTL accomplish?

TTL provides the structure to share as a community, helping members learn the skills needed to complete projects. In addition, the organisation provides assistance and cooperation with other community organisations like StopGap, the Alzheimer’s Society of Toronto, and the Center for Social Innovation.

How does the Toronto Tool Library operate?

The Toronto Tool Library was started as a project of the charity organisation IRBE. In 2018 it achieved it’s own status as a nonprofit organisation.

How is the TTL supported?

The Toronto Tool Library has a board of directors, and two staff. TTL is funded primarily by member fees, and receives no public funding.

We do two things very well.

Tool Lending.

Get the tools you need, when you need them, and be able to build all the things you want to without taking up your space or contributing to landfill.

Tool Education.

Join a community of enthusiastic builders and learn from the workshops and events free with your tool library membership.
