Near the Oakland Tool Library, Berkeley Tool Lending Library was the very first tool library in the US, starting in 1979 with $30,000 from a federal Community Development Block Grant .
What Weekly ran from 2010 to 2016, documenting Baltimore’s creative culture and helping spark Light City. The Pronoia Effect tells the story of the magazine, the festival that grew from it, and what happened when we lost it all.
