Neighborhood Tool Library

Sustainable Development Goals: 2, 11, 12, 13, 15

  • Develop Tool Libraries in neighborhoods for sharing lawn care, garden, and household tools
  • Possibly partner with MSU Campus Garden and Springfield Community Gardens to develop more neighborhood gardens along with Tool Library

The Springfield Tool Lending Library is a service available to all area residents. A small annual membership fee enables individuals to check out ladders, tillers, trimmers, pressure washers and a variety of other household tools, much like they would check out a book from the public library. The Tool Library’s main location is at Community Partnership of the Ozarks, but we’re working to develop our first branch location in the Woodland Heights neighborhood.
