FAQ

What is the maximum number of tools I can borrow?

We have set a maximum of five tools to borrow at one time. However if you need to borrow more and they are available we will see what we can do.

One week is the usual amount of time given however if you need an item for longer, please let us know and we will see if we can extend the time depending on how popular the tool is. 

Accidents happen and tools do wear out. Just let us know as soon as you can and bring them back so we can get them repaired if possible.

Yes the tool library is free for now, this might change in 2026 but we will let members know in advance. If we make this change we will have a concession membership available.

However for certain items we ask for a refundable cash deposit. Please refer to item description on the inventory page for specific details.

The tool library is open Wednesday to Friday between 10am and 2pm. 

Please bring photo ID.
