May is Home Improvement Month. AM Buffalo has been talking tools with Lisa Rhodes, operations manager with The Tool Library, about ways to save time, headache and money on your DIY projects by becoming a member!
But not only do they offer thousands of tools for a low annual membership fee - they also provide ways to build up local communities! They offer Service events & Dare to Repair events where you can volunteer - and get help fixing broken items instead of throwing them away!
The Tool Library is a membership driven non-profit. You can join their library and they have over 4,000 tools you can borrow.
A few weeks ago, The Tool Library was excited to announce they will soon be moving to a new location to not only house more tools, but offer more services.
This was part of their Facebook post announcement: "We’re glad that we won’t be moving far! Our new location is just about a mile down the road at 2626 Main Street.
One of their Service Events is helping them move to the new location!

Space for in-house workshops and meetings
