The Milwaukee Tool Library is a lending library of things, where anyone can check out tools and equipment for just about any project you can think of.

We are currently welcoming tool donations! If you believe in the power of tool libraries and would like to support this initiative here in Milwaukee, please donate today! Check out our Wish List for ideas. There are also volunteer opportunities listed if you don’t have tools to donate!

How Does It Work?

We operate just like a lending library, but for physical goods. When you enroll and become a member, you get access to every piece of equipment the library has. Simply visit us during our hours of operation and sign out the item or items that you need!

How Do I Sign Up?

Enrolling is easy! Fill out our new online form, then visit us and present a valid form of ID along with proof of address and we’ll get you borrowing right away!

It’s Free?

Completely! Membership is always free, but our rent and utilities aren’t, so you can always support us by becoming a Friend of the Tool Library!

Shaky Hands Union Printing
