The Chena Tool Library enhances self sufficiency, community resiliency and neighborly relations by supporting DIY endeavors through sharing tools, knowledge and skills.

Fairbanks is a community of do-it-yourselfers, from homebuilding to car repair to chicken raising. However, not everyone can afford all the tools needed for these endeavors, nor does everyone have the space to store them or even the desire to own them for infrequent or one-time use.

Poised on the front lines of climate change in the arctic, Alaska is no stranger to its impacts. As the climate crisis escalates, so does the need for urgent action. Our local communities are all experiencing hardships caused by a changing climate. We want all Alaskans to have safe homes and strong businesses/organizations that serve their needs in the face of extreme weather brought on by climate change.
