A tool library is an example of a library of things. Tool libraries allow patrons to check out or borrow tools, equipment and "how-to" instructional materials, functioning either as a rental shop, with a charge for borrowing the tools, or more commonly free of charge as a form of community sharing. This can empower residents who cannot afford specialized equipment for temporary projects to extend the life of their belongings, saving money and contributing to a more circular economy.
