Tool Libraries

Think of a tool library like a book library…except for tools (and often, other really useful things)! With tool libraries, you just borrow it when you need it and return it when you’re done.

Makerspaces

Or fab labs, techshops, or hackerspaces, are collaborative workspaces focusing on open source applications. They give access to technology and tools including 3D printers, laser cutters, etc.
