The Maine Tool Library is a project of the Resilience Hub. It is a volunteer-run tool lending library in Portland, Maine. We operate out of a room at 224 Anderson Street generously subsidized by Aikido of Maine. When folks subscribe to the tool library, they join the team. Each member pays 75 dollars annually (or donate the equivalent in our time) and agree to the MTL Borrowing Policy.
