In Oakland, we’re extraordinarily lucky to have a tool lending library when doing home improvements or green retrofits in particular. When you need any kind of tool, you just stop by 52nd and Telegraph to pick one up.
Usually the Temescal Tool Lending Library staff is ready to assist you. And now they welcome a little advice and counsel as well, at their very-first “Oakland Tool Library Friends” gathering this weekend.
- What: Oakland Tool Library Friends Meeting
When: Saturday, June 12th, 1pm – 2pm
Where: Tool Lending Library Lawn, 5205 Telegraph Ave (map)
Cost: No cost, for Oakland, Piedmont and Emeryville residents
Yes, interested Oaklanders can help the tool library. This inaugural gathering will take place on the lawn outside the Temescal Tool Lending Library, starting at 1pm. Their agenda is to agree upon a list of group goals, all to support this unique resource.
From our interactions with the librarians, we know this library wants to share knowledge as well as tools. They are considering all kinds of training classes based on the needs of patrons. We love them!
So take a quick hour and stop by the back of the library. Food will be provided, to lure interested tool borrowers and library supporters. While the meeting’s scheduled for an hour, it’s fine if some of you want to stay longer.
