Tools for Community
Sharing tools. Sharing skills. Sharing community
Building community is at the core of what we do at Glasgow Tool Library.
We offer a range of volunteering opportunities and activities that bring people together to build new relationships, gain confidence and develop or share skills in repair, library management, tool knowledge, and marketing. We hold regular weekly activity as well as events such as Community Builds, Volunteer Assemblies, quarterly training and social events.
