We are Raising Prices a Bit on 2/15. Lock In Our Current Prices Before Then!

It’s time for the DTL to raise some prices a bit to keep up with the times. Tool Library Memberships and Open Workshop Hours are going to be adjusted so we can continue to pay our staff fair wages and keep up with rising costs (see below). Classes will stay the same.

The good news is, the increase for a Standard Individual Membership is only an extra $2.50 per month (is that even a cup of coffee anymore?). Hopefully that’s a small impact on your end,* and it adds up to a big impact on ours. With this extra income we'll be able to do a lot to keep the DTL community strong, including....

  • Increase wages for the librarians and shop monitors you know and love.

  • Hire skilled staff to repair/maintain our heavily used tool inventory.

  • Keep up with this year’s rent increase, plus the rising cost of utilities, tools, and supplies.

  • Continue providing discounted and free memberships for low income folks and local organizations doing important work in our community.

*If these new prices are a strain to your economic situation, you can apply for Financial Assistance on our website.

You can also lock in our current prices if you’d like! From now till FEBRUARY 15th, you can buy a Tool Library Membership or buy an Open Workshop Punch Card at 2022 prices and redeem when you’re ready. If you have a current membership, we can add a full year to your current expiration date. Feel free to reply to this email if you have any questions about it!
