The Sonoma County Tool Library (SCTL) is a volunteer-run, nonprofit, FREE tool-loaning service for the residents of Sonoma County. Founded in 2006, it has grown from a neighborhood program into a resource for all DIYers in the county. Today, we have over 700 registered borrowers and process more than 4,000 tool loans a year.

Guided by our commitment to community, sustainability, and empowerment, we believe in the power of neighbors helping neighbors.
