We’ve got another First Friday Teacher Market happening on May 3rd from 6p - 9p! Stop by the Denver Tool Library during the Santa Fe Art Walk to peruse some of our instructor’s for sale handmade goods. There will also be by-donation drinks and TBA tunes. All donations will go to our Share the Tools Fund to give underrepresented maskers scholarships to all of our programs.
Hope to see y’all there!!
Thank you everyone who has donated to our Share the Tools Fund for our April Bday Fundraiser so far! Including the matching donations, we have raised $2,920 so far this year. Because of you, our Financial Assistance Applications are now open and we are able to start awarding scholarships to our programs in May! Your donations support getting tools into the hands of people and orgs who need them most by subsidizing big discounts and free memberships, classes, and open workshop hours.
If you haven't donated yet, you still have until the end of this month to get your donations matched! We’ll keep you updated throughout the year on how your dollars have tangibly helped our mission to get tools into the hands of whoever needs them.
Thank You!!
Brand New Class! Fermentation: Essentials & Sauerkraut w/ Alex of Permaculture. The first class is May 20th at 5:30pm.
In our new Fermentation class, Alex will provide students with a deeper understanding of the history and benefits of fermentation and the slow food movement. Most excitingly, each student will walk away with their very own sauerkraut to take home and enjoy in as little as 24 hours! The processes you will learn in this class can also be applied to ferments such as kimchi, kombucha, cottage cheese, and kefir. Beginners are welcome.
About Your Instructor Alex Nees: I have worked in food production as a farmer and gardener for 7 years, and have found immense pleasure in working with my hands and exploring ways in which I can make my favorite recipes at home. I joined forces with two friends of mine three years ago to start "Pickle People" - a cottage kitchen operation allowing us to package and sell our very own ferments at various markets around town. I believe in the power of slow food, and it's benefits on the health of our bodies as well as the health of our communities!

The Denver Tool Library is hiring a Tool Librarian for flexible, on-call coverage during our summer season. Must have general availability during our open hours: Tuesdays and Thursdays (2-7pm) and Saturdays and Sundays (10am-3pm) on an as-needed basis. Some shifts will be scheduled well ahead of time to cover for vacationing tool librarians. Ideal candidates also have flexibility for same day coverage requests, and varying hours. We anticipate at least one shift a week during our busiest months.
Application deadline is 4/21/24
For job description, details, and to apply - denvertoollibrary.org/jobs
Reason #1: More scholarships for underrepresented makers.
With Denver prices soring, paying for a contractor to keep a home safe and functional is out of reach for many. Your donations help our mission to provide affordable access to tools and education for everyone despite their economic circumstance.
