  1. #WellingtonNZ - Newtown #ToolLibrary

    "Why buy and store tools when we can share!

    #ToolLibraries work just like any other library. You become a member and then you can borrow tools. Tools are expensive, and there are many privately owned tools in our community that only get used once in a while. But, if we collectively own and share tools we can save money and the planet while building community. How awesome is that?

    The team behind #NTL are all volunteers. We’re from lots of different backgrounds, but share the same passion to build community, and to share skills and resources.

    #NewtownToolLibrary is a lending library for tools of all sorts. We have a growing collection of second hand and new tools (donations welcome) available for lending to members. The Tool Library is a project of the Newtown #CommunityCentre, is run by volunteers and is located in neat little nook at 9 Constable Street, Newtown!

    Membership is $30 for a year or $20 for 6 months, or;

    If you are a #WellingtonTimebank member, you can pay with 2-timecredits.

    Our aim is to keep the Tool Library as accessible as possible while still having a small income to cover tool maintenance, repairs and new tools.

    Once you are member, there are no charges to borrow tools."
