Who We Are

We provide low to no cost access to borrowing over 3,500 tools, host regular free repair pop ups, and educational classes such as welding, drywall repair, and basic tool safety. We also host a free seed library exchange and a free book library exchange. There are also a few projects on the way that include helping folks access free firewood, a building supply free-store, and a crafts maker space.

What We Do

The Asheville Tool Library is a volunteer-powered, membership-based nonprofit that shares its tools and resources and offers educational opportunities to the Community of Western North Carolina.


Our Vision at The Asheville Tool Library is to empower individuals and the community at large through resources that encourage sustainability, rehabilitation, creativity, entrepreneurship, livability, and community development. We address the issue of socio-economic inequality that exists in Western NC by providing low/no-cost access to tools, education, and other resources to all members of our community.
