The Tool Library is currently not offering loans, but we are allowing returns. Please return tools by ringing the doorbell off of our side entrance on Allin St, while wearing a mask, during the following hours: Tues. Noon-3pm, Thurs. 4-7pm, Sat 9am-1pm. You will not be charged a late fee.  Our tools are recognizable by a small blue sticker with a 4-digit number placed in a visible area

The tool library is a free tool lending program designed to serve the Bloomington -Normal community. Free tool lending provides homeowners with the resources that they need to make repairs and modifications to their homes, allowing them to maintain a feeling of independence and integrity. Having the proper tools is a necessity for any project.
