How many tools can I borrow?

You can borrow up to 7 tools at a time, depending upon your membership. If the tools are available and more are needed for a special project or occasion, you can request accommodation.  

How long can I borrow tools?

Our standard loan period is 7 days although you can request renewals.

How can I renew tools?

If you need to borrow tools longer than 7 days you can request a renewal through the member login system. 

Your request will either be approved or denied depending on the demand for the item.

Can I check out tools using another account?

No. The person physically borrowing the tools and accepting responsibility for them needs to have an account. Think about getting your own! Our quick application and pay-what-you-can fees make it easy for anybody to sign up, regardless of income.

What if my tools are late?

You won't be able to check out new items until your late items are returned. If you have repeated incidents of overdue, lost, or broken items we reserve the right to terminate a membership at any point. In order to reactivate your membership you will need to return all overdue items, reapply, pay a new annual library fee, and your application will need special approval by the Tool Library.
