#toollibraries

2025-10-07

On Tuesday, October 21, check out this session on how tool libraries serve as a crucial community resource after disasters.

These are important community-driven hubs to beef up during times like these, now that we all understand the US Government has completely abandoned its people.

I've been thinking about #toolLibraries and the role of a #LibraryEconomy in the sustainable #solarPunk future I want to work towards. I wrote a little bit about that idea on my blog: underwaterbook.club/2024/01/16

Also I need to learn about fediverse post visibility settings.

I feel like the local #portland #ToolLibraries are specifically trying to keep me from joining them.

The service map of the Green Lents community tool library. They cover montavilla and foster-powell but specifically do not cover south tabor between them.

@kkarhan yup, interloan isn't a new idea at all!

The only difference here is we'd be looking to make that process much smoother and faster - and especially make it available to very small #toollibraries and #buynothing groups.

A 🧵on the ongoing #meansofproduction project - which is designed to enable #librarysocialism along with #federation of all types of libraries, especially #toollibraries, and even #Housing

You can find more info at meansofp.org/, and the codebase is #opensource at meansofp.org/.

We have a discord at discord.gg/DxUrwhDg - but also moving lots of the discussion here to #mastodon!
