Tool Libraries Think of a tool library like a book library…except for tools (and often, other really useful things)! With tool libraries, you just borrow it when you need it and return it when you’re done. Makerspaces Or fab labs, techshops, or hackerspaces, are collaborative workspaces focusing on open source applications. They give access to technology and tools including 3D printers, laser cutters, etc. Snapshots of repair stories The Flores family wants to save your device from the landfill!
