Tool library hammers out student repair problems Graphic by Man DeRungs Staff assists gardeners, mechanics By GINGER BARNES Of Ow EmmU Everything from pruning shears to a radial arm saw can be rented for next to nothing at the University’s Action Now Tool Library The library, located on cam pus at 15th Avenue and Agate Street, stores a wide range of tools and gardening im plements Students can rent the tools for three days by leaving their plastic ID card The library also is open to community members for $2 50 for a three-month membership or SIO for a year's membership Woodworkers, car and bicy cle mechanics, gardeners and other do-it-yourselfers will find not only a large stock of equip ment to help them, but also a helpful staff who occasionally have stuck their hands into a stranger's coughing engine or given life to an aged bicycle Tool library director Katie McLaughlin says she considers herself a “weekend mechanic" and that she is more than willing to give direction to those that come into the library for help. “Most students can’t afford all these tools Our service helps lead them to self-reliance,” McLaughlin says. Action Now began in 1971 as a business to help people build and tear down houses. How ever, as the need for tools became apparent, the tool li brary became a minor part of the corporation. Tools were collected and the offshoot of Action Now’s build ing business, the tool library, now is its sole remaining func tion The Incidental Fee Committee has approved funds for a gar age where people can work on ailing machinery, but the money is being held until an adequate location is found Problems with legalities and insurance cur rently are slowing down the garage idea, McLaughlin says. “The library has grown and become more organized,” she explains,"and thanks to the IFC, who has recognized our efforts, we’ve been able to stay open eight hours a day." The tool library is staffed by work-study students and McLaughlin says she tries to hire people with different areas of expertise such as lands capers, house builders or those with architectural knowledge A supply of gardening tools presently is available for those who are spending summer days puttering in the foliage How ever, those at the library advise renters of lawn mowers and ro totillers to call a few weeks in advance to reserve the ma chines because they are heavily in demand right now The Action Now Tool Library phone number is 686-3702 IMPOk I I I) coffee (Si tea B\ (ho Pound or b\ rho t up Kinko’s 764 K. 13th 344 .7X94 Bean of the Month I londuran $4.05 lb.
