Tools
Our collection is constantly growing and, as tools are checked out regularly, not all tools are currently available.
Looking to Donate Your Tools?
We DO NOT take walk-in tool donations and the library shelf space is constrained. In general we are also striving to offer tools that could be loaded into a passenger car, but will try to be flexible, depending on what the offered item is (provided we have space).
If you need to divest yourself of a tool or building supplies today, we recommend contacting:
- The Rebuilding Center
- Habitat for Humanity ReStore
- Buy Nothing Group on Facebook
If you have something that is unusual and tool related, that you want to know if we can take, please contact: donations at swptl.org for an appointment. As with other tool libraries in town, we may sell items that end up as excess inventory in order to add a tool we don't have, or is in greater demand.
Tool donations we can NOT take:
- Broken tools
- Painting equipment
- Rechargeable power tools
- Gasoline powered tools
- Reel push mowers
- Liquids, Adhesives, caulks, paints or other messy building supplies
