Inner West Tool Library Sydney

21/05/2026

Every borrowed lawn mower, repaired drill, shared DIY tip and welcoming conversation starts with our volunteers — and we couldn’t be more grateful for them.

This , we want to thank the 40 active volunteers who give their time, skills and care to make the Inner West Tool Library Sydney what it is today.

If you’d like to get involved with the IWTL, please get in touch. Whether it’s helping out on a Saturday morning at Petersham Bowlo or supporting the library in other ways, every contribution helps our little committee-run library grow. 🛠️💚
