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

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: https://underwaterbook.club/2024/01/16/unusual-libraries/
Also I need to learn about fediverse post visibility settings.

@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.
