Tool library hammers out student repair problems

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
