Profile:

Belfast Tool Library is the first tool lending library in Northern Ireland. Tool Libraries work just like any other library. You become a member and then you can borrow tools. We’re not-for-profit, and are now a registered charity.

Created by a group of keen volunteers with a shared passion to build community, share skills and resources, (and tools!), BTL is growing year on year. Now with 2 part-time members of staff to run both our library and workshop, we offer woodwork classes, and members open workshop sessions, alongside our ever-expanding library of tools.

Our goals are simple. We want to:

  • Promote DIY, making and repair skills through the sharing of tools
  • Make Belfast a more sustainable city
  • Create opportunities for learning and development
  • Bring people together, regardless of who they are or where they come from
