The Edmonton Tool Library (ETL) is a non-profit organization located in Edmonton, Alberta that makes a wide range of tools available for borrowing to its local community. As a community resource, the ETL has the organizational mission of providing affordable accessibility to tools, encouraging "Do it yourself" (DIY) projects and general beautification in the community. Founded in 2016, the ETL has an inventory of over 300 handheld and power tools, many of which have been received by the organization as donations. The ETL is funded through donations, sponsorships, and membership fees paid by its users for access to the organization's tool inventory, and relies on a team of volunteers to maintain the collection. Residents can visit the Edmonton Tool Library at its location in the Bellevue Community League, a partner of the ETL that allows the organization access to space for housing its tool inventory.[1]
