In 2009, the community of [[West Seattle]] in Washington started the West Seattle Tool Library, which provides a wide variety of tools and resources for individuals and organizations while specifically encouraging sustainable urban living. In 2011, ''[[Popular Mechanics]]'' recognized "Building a Local Tool Library" as one of its top ten ways to change the world, while highlighting the West Seattle Tool Library.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.popularmechanics.com/home/how-to-plans/diy-heroes-10-backyard-builders-changing-the-world#slide-1|title=DIY Heroes: 10 Backyard Builders Changing the World|last=DeMatto|first=Amanda|work=Popular Mechanics|date=8 August 2011}}</ref> In response to that recognition, a project called "Share Starter" was created that maps tool libraries worldwide and offers a free "Tool Library Starter Kit" to any community interested in starting a lending library of their own.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.shareable.net/blog/how-to-start-a-tool-library|title=How to Start a Tool Library|last=Dunn|first=Patrick|date=May 9, 2012|access-date=October 16, 2016|work=Shareable}}</ref> The kit includes start up guidelines, frequently asked questions, and sample documents. Additionally, the [[Center for a New American Dream]] published a [[Web conferencing|webinar]] which highlighted insights from a handful of tool libraries on how to get started.

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 many local [[Public library|public libraries]] and [[Hackerspace|makerspaces]]. 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>
