The Millvale Tool Library is a collection of over 900 hand and power tools for building, woodworking, home maintenance, gardening, plumbing, cars, bikes, and more! We’ve got table saws, drills, power washers, carpet cleaners, shovels, lawn mowers, painting equipment, ladders, and pretty much anything you’re likely to want for your project.

Drop in or call (412) 822-7081 during Tool Library hours to learn more about tools or get advice about a project you may be working on!

If you already have a library card from one of the Allegheny County libraries, great—bring it on down, along with proof of your current address (e.g. driver’s license, other photo ID, utility bill or lease agreement).

If you don’t already have a library card, we can sign you up for one as long as you have an acceptable form of photo ID. If your photo ID doesn’t show your current address, you will also need to confirm your address with a utility bill or lease agreement. After filling out the member application, you’re a member!

The Tool Library is FREE, though we ask patrons who reside outside of Millvale for a $30 annual donation to help us build and maintain the tool collection.

We can only lend tools to adults.

You can see a complete list of our tools here. You can also search for tools by name using the photo binders at the Millvale Community Library’s front desk or by using the online catalog.

You can check out up to 5 tools for one week at a time for free. Tools must be returned to our circulation desk during normal hours.

If you’d like to support the Tool Library, please consider volunteering. Volunteers help in any number of ways, from staffing the front desk, to fixing and maintaining tools, writing grants, helping with promoting the library, or running workshops and events.
