Join Shareable and the Tool Library Alliance for a "crossover" session, combining the Library of Things Co-Lab and Mutual Aid 101.
A panel of practitioners from tool libraries and mutual aid groups will discuss the intersection of resource sharing and mutual aid. This session will feature a particular focus on the role tool libraries can play during disasters, like last year’s collaboration between the Asheville Tool Library, WNC Repair Cafe, and Mutual Aid Disaster Relief during the response to Hurricane Helene in Western North Carolina.
Presenters include:
Rachel Jerusha Kinbar, co-founder of the Central Florida Tool Library (a project of Central Florida Mutual Aid).
Shelby Treichle, Asheville Tool Library and WNC Repair Cafe
- Ben Wyatt, Mutual Aid Disaster Relief (Smith Mill Works hub, Western North Carolina)
Moderated by Tom Llewellyn, Shareable executive director, Asheville Tool Library co-founder, and host of The Response podcast.
More presenters will be announced as they are confirmed.
If enough people donate (or sponsor) this event, we will be able to offer Spanish and ASL interpretation to support the accessibility of this session.
*The event link will be sent out 1-week before the event.
