The Atwood Tool Library is a project of Zion Lutheran Church which promotes community sustainability
Hello all, I wish I had better news for the tool library but the location that agreed to continue with the ATL dropped the ball when they changed management which resulted in all of our tools either being sold or reallocate to their construction crews. All this was done without consulting me and without my permission. It was already too late for me to do anything about it when I found out. I am so sorry that I have let many of you down. I don't have the energy to start from zero again. I suggest encouraging the local libraries to develop tool libraries, I have had convos with them in the past and I know there is interest there. Accordingly, I will mark our tool library closed so others will know we are no longer a resource. Thanks for the 5 good years we had!
Reminder that today and tomorrow from 9 to noon you can bring your tools back to the tool library.
Hello everyone,
Mark your calendar for July 17th and 18th from 9 am to 12 pm as the dates you can bring back any tools that you may have checked out prior to the pandemic. Thank you so much for keeping track of them all this time! Please wear masks if you come inside the church. Stay tuned for details about the Tool Library's next chapter.

Our Story
The Atwood Tool Library (ATL) is a not-for-profit, membership-based lending library that will circulate a collection of tools within the city of Madison.
For some of our members, the ATL will be a way of accessing tools they can’t otherwise afford. For others, it will be a means of pooling resources they are only going to use once in a while. The ATL is a way to reduce consumption, to connect communities and to learn from one another.
The types of tools we will lend out will be non-gas powered and pertain to home repair, bike repair, gardening and landscaping. Tools will be loaned out during open hours on a weekly schedule with the expectation that they will be returned a week later.
