Baltimore's community tool library, running since April 2013, with well over 1,700 tools on the shelves and an open shop for members who have taken the safety class. Membership is a sliding scale suggested at $1 for every $1,000 of yearly income, so a $40,000 salary means about $40 a year. Members borrow up to eight tools a week, and late returns cost $1 per tool per day, including days the library is closed.
For leather, this is a budget starting point rather than a full solution: hammers, clamps, cutting tools and general workshop kit are here, while stamps, edge bevelers and a stitching machine usually are not. Best used alongside a small home kit, with the library covering the heavy and rarely needed items. Hours are short and volunteer dependent, so returns need planning.
