As a precautionary measure to help ‘flatten the curve‘ of Coronavirus and following recommendations made by State and county officials, we have made the decision to close The Tool Library to the public and cancel all public events through the end of this month.

BECOME A MEMBER

We provide communities with the tools they need to create the change they want.

Sign up today for as little as $20/year to get access to our inventory of over 3,000 tools!

Dare to Repair Cafes are monthly events where individuals can bring broken items such as lamps and small appliances to the repair cafe and have volunteer “fixers” try to repair the item alongside them for free!

Please note our March and April Dare to Repair Cafes have been CANCELLED.

DARE TO REPAIR

LEND A HAND

Join the Tool Library and our community partners for a dozen service events across University District this spring! Please note that our April events have been cancelled.

Whether it’s tree planting, garden tending, street cleaning, rainbow painting, or some light leaf blowing, there’s a way for you to get involved in your community and make a positive impact!

ReTree the District has helped plant over 1,300 trees across Buffalo's University District since 2014.

Please note that our spring planting along William Gaiter Parkway scheduled for Saturday, April 18th will most likely be rescheduled for the fall.
