Los Angeles Tool Library is launching this month!
Sarah G. · 06 Jan 2026
We're excited to share on behalf of Los Angeles Tool Library that they are hosting an opening celebration:
đź“Ť Immanuel Presbyterian Church, 3300 Wilshire Blvd., Los Angeles, CA 90010
đź“… Saturday, January 24th, during the day (exact time TBD)

Join them to celebrate their launch and discover how a tool library can help you build, fix, create, and connect with neighbours. Everyone is welcome, bring a friend.

You can support their launch by becoming a founding member before the opening day. Founding memberships help them reach our fundraising goal of $10,000, to expand their inventory and repair donated tools.

Good luck for the opening celebration, Los Angeles Tool Library!

Bristol is opening a new site
Chris T. · 19 Nov 2025
We’re thrilled to pass on the news that Share Bristol will be opening a 4th location at Winterbourne Library in February 2026 in partnership with Frome Valley Environmental Network.

This will mean even more folk across Bristol and South Gloucestershire can borrow instead of buy — saving money, cutting down on clutter, and making a real difference for the environment.

By buying a new or renewal membership via our Crowdfunder, you'll be helping them to open the next location operating out of Winterbourne Library. Thanks to match funding from Aviva, they will receive double the amount of your payment, meaning they can fund the start up costs for Share Bristol Winterbourne.
