The DC Tool Library is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization supported by the Department of Parks and Recreation and run entirely by volunteers.

We rent out tools to DC residents for free. Our inventory is vast, diverse, and constantly growing. We also have items to give away such as screws, nails, nuts, bolts, paintbrushes, and more.

You can see our open locations here. One of our goals is to have a library in every ward!

Our tools are donated by community members or purchased with funds donated to the library. Donations are tax-deductible and can be made here.
