NPTL - The North Portland Tool Library

Never used a power tool before? Tired of listening to that leaky faucet? Not only does the North Portland Tool Library have tools, we also sponsor hands-on workshops to help you learn to use those tools more effectively. The workshops are free and will be designed and run by skilled individuals from the community or partner organizations.

Upcoming Workshops:

Please consider becoming a "fan" of the North Portland Tool Library on Facebook. We have found it easiest to communicate our upcoming workshops there. We'll also try to post them up here and on the calendar, but we found facebook to be the most effective for getting the word out. It's also an easy way for you to stay connected with the most up to date information from us.

Are you skilled in the building trades and interested in sharing your knowledge with others? Or maybe you have a great idea for a workshop. If so, we would love to hear from you. Our primary goal is to give residents of North Portland the information they need, so community input is crucial. Contact us with your input.
