Do you have a short-term project in mind, but don’t have the equipment you need to do it? The Raven Tool Library might be able to help you out!
About
The Raven Tool Library (RTL) is a community resource that lends tools and equipment on a short-term basis, making it easier for households to access items they may not want or need to purchase. Founded in 2020, the RTL began public lending in 2021 and joined the Raven ReCentre family of programs on April 1, 2024. Currently, it offers a variety of yard work, vehicle and bike repair, cooking, and home renovation tools, with plans to continue expanding its inventory.
