Brisbane Tool Library

Tools for a circular economy

Our tool library allows people to borrow hand and power tools, and other equipment, such as camping and sport gear.

Based on a circular economy, we are building a more sustainable society, reducing consumption and waste going to landfill.

In 2017, the Brisbane Tool Library became Queensland's first library of things.
