What:
This will be our first meeting for the Ballard Tool Library! We would love to have any interested volunteers show up and help us shape what our Tool Library will look like. We’ll start with a brainstorm of what kinds of “tools” (broadly defined) you would like to see in the Ballard Tool Library. Some ideas that have been offered are: wood working tools, gardening tools, sewing machines/sergers, knitting/crocheting, masonry tools, marine tools, brewing equipment, canning supplies, recreational gear, offering a seed lending library…the sky is the limit. Looking forward to seeing everyone there!
