GET INVOLVED

Belfast Tool Library is run by volunteers, committed to making tools and the skills to use them available to many more people in Belfast. We're passionate about helping people share resources and skills. If you are too, it’s an exciting time to join in as we invite members to work on their own projects in our workshop, work to expand our class offering and increase our membership.

We need all kinds of skills and people to make this happen:

Tool Librarians – friendly, good with people and able to keep track of items and loans on our simple computer system. You’ll help us stay organised with admin tasks such as processing membership forms, new tools, etc.

Tool Experts – knowledgeable and skilled with tools, ready and willing to share your expertise in an encouraging way in both the library and workshop, helping us keep our stock of tools in tip-top condition

Other - maybe you have a special skill that would help us – we’d love to discuss it!

We’re asking people to sign up for a minimum of one three-hour session per month, but you are welcome to do more. Initially, these will be on Saturday mornings or Tuesday evenings. Regular volunteers will get free membership of the tool library and access to the workshop, as well as know you are helping to shape a new and exciting project, something which will serve the community and help many more people of Belfast make, do and learn more.
