The SHED Tool Library, which stands for Share, Help, Educate, Do,  is inviting the public to a membership drive and DIY demo starting on Saturday, June 11th at the MakeItZone in Courtenay. The membership drive is running from June 11th to June 30th.

Similar to a traditional library, a tool library allows members to borrow tools for projects without having to purchase them. The SHED operates out of the MakeItZone, a makerspace and STEM/STEAM education centre for the Comox Valley.

Tools range from scrapers, clamps and precision screwdrivers, to wet tile saws, orbital sanders and joiners. The SHED is also expanding with a growing inventory of specialty tools for gardening and auto repair projects.

To kick off the membership drive, the SHED is holding a container garden build demo using tools from the library, up-cycled wood and seeds from the Vancouver Island Regional Library Seed Library, Saturday, June 11 from 10 a.m. – 2 p.m. at the MakeItZone, 907 McPhee Ave. in Courtenay.
