Why join the Skills Library?


The Braidwood community has always come together in tough times—through droughts, fires, floods, and pandemics. We’ve seen firsthand the power of generosity, with people sharing food, skills, advice, time, and support. These connections create a strong, resilient community that we can rely on when other systems fall short.

The Skills Library is here to nurture and strengthen that spirit by making it easier to share knowledge, trade skills, and learn from one another. It’s an investment in our community’s well-being—one that grows stronger with every person who joins.

Community, Creativity, Care.

  • Vision.

    Our vision is for a small town in which sustainability principles are considered in every aspect of community decision-making, and enhance the wellbeing of people and place.

  • Values.

    Every resident of Braidwood and surrounds has the capacity to contribute something to a joyful and interconnected engagement with place, and our goal is to create the conditions for community activity to thrive.

We know how deep the collective knowledge of land runs in this place, and see ourselves as a conduit for community action and social connectedness.
