GTL is built on the generous support of the community that have donated tools, time and resources. Whether you have spare tools you want to share, skills or something else, click here to find out more about how to support the library and promote the values of sharing, reducing consumption and building community resilience.
Glasgow Tool Library collect donations of tools from those that no longer use them. We repair and care for them, and make them accessible to everyone through an inclusive and affordable membership.
From practical DIY, gardening and home improvements, to furniture making and artistic projects, we can provide you with the tools you need to realise your ideas.
We also host classes, workshops and events that teach a range of craft, DIY and sustainability skills and knowledge.
