Tools, Community and Sharing

 

​The Newtown Tool Library is a volunteer run community tool sharing space. Currently located at 9 Constable Street, Newtown. It offers tools, advice and workshops. It's a place for sharing skills and know-how amongst the community, empowering individuals, and reducing overall waste by sharing and reusing.

​

The Newtown Tool Library was established in 2016 and continues to thrive in Newtown thanks to all of its members, volunteers, the Newtown Community Centre and donators of finances and tools.
