HNL TOOL LIBRARY

Mission Statement

HNL Tool Library is a local 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to sustainability, resilience, and community development. At HNL Tool Library, we lend tools like a traditional library lends books. By providing access to a shared inventory of tools, and educating the public about their use, we help our island community maximize resource efficiency, reduce the waste stream, and break down barriers to sustainable living. The HNL Tool Library’s mission is to increase the economic resiliency and environmental sustainability of our community by providing a platform for sharing, education, and skill development. We believe a community is richer and more sustainable when resources are shared, resulting in a stronger society, more resilient economy, and a healthier environment.
