SANTA ROSA, CA, June 12, 2026 /24-7PressRelease/ -- The Sonoma County Tool Library, a nonprofit lending library that helps residents borrow tools rather than buy them, will benefit from a community estate sale on Saturday, June 13, 2026, at 595 Hwy 116 N in Sebastopol.

The estate sale is part of a broader period of modernization and community outreach for the Tool Library, which is located at 427 Mendocino Ave, inside coLAB in Santa Rosa. The nonprofit serves residents across Sonoma County, including Santa Rosa, Sebastopol, Graton, Forestville, and the broader West County.

Martin Reed, a West Sonoma County real estate agent affiliated with eXp Realty, CA DRE 02198573, also serves as Executive Director of the Sonoma County Tool Library. In that role, Reed is helping lead infrastructure improvements, volunteer and donor recruitment, and public awareness efforts designed to make the Tool Library easier for residents to find, use, and support.

The Tool Library's ongoing modernization includes a rebuilt public website at https://borrowtools.org, a migrated membership and lending system carrying 2,858 borrower records, and a developing partnership with the Sonoma County Library. The organization is also recruiting board members, volunteers, and donors as it strengthens its role as a community resource for home repair, property upkeep, fire-wise maintenance, and sustainability.

"The Tool Library is a practical, neighbor-to-neighbor resource," said Martin Reed, Executive Director of the Sonoma County Tool Library. "It helps people take care of their homes, gardens, repairs, and projects without having to buy every tool themselves. This Saturday's estate sale gives the community a simple way to pitch in, and every dollar goes back into keeping tools available to Sonoma County residents who need them."

For homeowners, renters, gardeners, DIYers, and local residents managing seasonal maintenance or fire-wise property upkeep, the Tool Library offers an alternative to purchasing tools that may only be needed for a single project. By making shared tools available through a nonprofit lending model, the organization supports both affordability and sustainable resource use.

The June 13 estate sale will give residents an opportunity to support the Tool Library directly while participating in a local community event in Sebastopol. Sale hours and additional event details will be announced by the Sonoma County Tool Library.
