About Tool Library of Lake County

We're a 501(c)(3) nonprofit in Mundelein, IL, run entirely by volunteers. Our mission is to make quality tools accessible to everyone—whether you're tackling a home repair, building a deck, or starting a new hobby.

For $50/year, members borrow from 3,000+ tools. No storage. No maintenance. Just the right tool when you need it.

Meet Tinker

Borrow. Build. Share. Repeat.

Tinker is built from the kinds of tools our members borrow every day — a wrench for a head, a license-plate chest, and a C-clamp for a foot. Our community picked his name in a mascot naming contest.
