Join the Tacoma Tool Library
The Tacoma Tool Library is member-funded, member-run, and member-built!
As a member, you can borrow any of the 3900+ tools in our inventory.
Who can join?
We believe everyone should have access to the Tacoma Tool Library, regardless of income level.
Members must be 18 years or older.
You do not need to live in Tacoma or Pierce County.
The first time you borrow tools, you will be asked to show ID. Learn more on our FAQ page.
