Given their increasing popularity and proven history of success, tool libraries and tool banks are now playing a role in the sharing economy and can be found in local [[Public library|public libraries]] and [[Hackerspace|makerspaces]], for instance. There are software platforms for managing tool and other types of lending libraries.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://chicagotoollibrary.org/|title=The Chicago Tool Library|website=The Chicago Tool Library|language=en-US|access-date=2019-09-13}}</ref>
== Spread ==
Tool libraries also exist outside of the United States, with several in the UK, for example in [[Edinburgh]],<ref>{{Cite web|title=Edinburgh Tool Library - Edinburgh Tool Library|url=https://edinburghtoollibrary.org.uk/|access-date=2021-12-09|website=edinburghtoollibrary.org.uk|language=en-US}}</ref> [[Glasgow]]<ref>{{Cite web |date=2020-03-10 |title=Glasgow Tool Library - Glasgow Tool Library |url=https://glasgowtoollibrary.com/ |access-date=2022-08-15 |language=en-GB}}</ref> and [[Liverpool]],<ref>{{Cite web |title=Liverpool Tool Library |url=https://liverpooltoollibrary.org.uk/ |access-date=2022-08-15 |website=liverpooltoollibrary.org.uk}}</ref> and in Norway.<ref>{{Kilde www|url=https://deichman.no/vi-tilbyr/verkt%C3%B8ybibliotek_a0a7d14b-d85c-49da-876f-cb7e3a8e51e4|tittel=Verktøybibliotek - Deichman.no|besøksdato=2023-07-10|språk=no|verk=deichman.no}}</ref><ref>{{Kilde www|url=https://trondheim2030.no/2019/09/06/her-laner-du-verktoy-gratis/|tittel=Her låner du verktøy – gratis|besøksdato=2023-07-10|dato=2019-09-06|etternavn=knut|språk=nb-NO|verk=Trondheim 2030}}</ref><ref>{{Kilde www|url=https://www.nrk.no/trondelag/norges-forste-verktoybibliotek-1.13552546|tittel=Norges første verktøybibliotek|besøksdato=2023-07-10|dato=2017-06-09|fornavn=Alf|etternavn=Skille|språk=nb-NO|verk=NRK}}</ref><ref>{{Kilde avis|tittel=Nå kan du låne to bøker og en borhammer på biblioteket|url=https://www.adressa.no/okonomi/i/rEWPMA/na-kan-du-lane-to-boker-og-en-borhammer-pa-biblioteket|avis=adressa.no|besøksdato=2023-07-10|språk=nb-NO|fornavn=Ann Iren|etternavn=Bævre}}</ref> There also exists [[housing cooperative]]s with shared workshops, for example Kampen borettslag in [[Oslo]].<ref>{{Kilde www|url=http://www.orebakken.no/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/Verksted-Kampen-Borettslag.pdf|tittel=Fryserom ble fellesverksted (Borettslaget Kampen) - Bolig & miljø 03, 2015 av OBOS BBL}}</ref><ref>{{Kilde www|url=https://issuu.com/obosbbl/docs/bolig___milj___03-2015|tittel=Bolig & miljø 03, 2015 by OBOS BBL - Issuu|besøksdato=2023-07-30|dato=2016-03-09|språk=en|verk=issuu.com}}</ref>
== Equipment and facilities ==
=== Basic furnishings ===
The basic equipment of a tool library or shared workshop can for example include [[Task lighting|worklighting]], a [[workbench]] with [[vise]]s, a [[Workbench (woodworking)|woodworking bench]], [[bicycle stand]], [[bicycle pump]], [[fire extinguisher]]s, a [[vacuum cleaner]], [[dustpan]]s, [[broom]]s and a [[Waste container|trash can]].
=== Tools ===
Tools can be brought by the users or made available by the workshop. In some cases, the workshop is only equipped with simple hand tools, while more expensive special tools must be brought by the individual.
What kind of tools a tool library should have varies with the users' needs. One has to weigh up the need for tools that are useful for many people against tools that will be used little and take up valuable space. For example, garden tools can be useful if several of the users have gardens, but may be of little relevance if the users do not have gardens or are not interested in gardening.
=== Safety ===
Some [[power tools]] can be dangerous to use, and have an age limit or may require training. For example, [[table saw]]s can be very dangerous since the operator holds the material being sawed instead of holding the saw, which makes it easy to accidentally move the fingers into the spinning saw blade. Table saws can also cause dangerous [[table saw kickback|kickback]] where part of the [[workpiece]] is propelled back towards the operator at a high speed. A [[plunge saw]] with a track can, on the other hand, be a safer alternative that can achieve much of the same results for hobby use, and is therefore a much better candidate for a shared hobby workshop in terms of liability, risk of personal injury and training.
== Rules of order ==
A well-functioning tool library has guidelines that users must follow.
=== Cleaning up after work ===
The users of a shared workshop are responsible for cleaning up after themselves. Each one keep it clean and tidy. For example, you can be expected to put tools back in place, vacuum or sweep up chips and sanding dust, air out smells from paint, varnish and chemicals.
Rydding etter arbeid
Brukerne av et fellesverksted er ansvarlige for å rydde opp etter seg. Hver enkelt holde det rent og ryddig. For eksempel kan det forventes at man rydder på plass igjen verktøy, støvsuger eller feie opp flis og slipestøv, lufter ut lukt etter maling, lakk og kjemikalier.
=== Marking of work ===
If work is left while in progress, it should be marked with ones name, address, mobile number and the date the work was started.<ref name="kampenterrasse">{{Kilde www|url=https://www.kampenterrasse.no/index.php/verkstedet/|tittel=Verkstedet – KAMPEN TERRASSE BORETTSLAG|besøksdato=2023-07-31|språk=nb-NO}}</ref>
=== Storage and deadline ===
In the shared workshop of one housing association, it is expected that work should be able to be completed within 3-5 days, and that stored materials, objects and tools may be removed at the owner's risk.<ref name="kampenterrasse"/> A shared workshop is not a place for [[self storage|storing]] personal belongings.
=== Enforcement ===
To ensure that the workshop is kept neat and orderly, there should also be a role of someone who enforces that rubbish is thrown away, that non-functioning equipment is either repaired or thrown away within a reasonable time, and that abandoned projects are disposed of.
== Opening hours ==
Some self-service workshops are open 24/7, but one must still take into account of public holiday peace and [[quiet hours]] during night time, and in general to not be of unnecessary nuisance to neighbours. For example, the shop owners may demand that no noisy work can take place between 22:00 and 07:00.
