Revised Hours of Operation!

One of our volunteers at the Tool Library will be traveling overseas for the next month and so we will be returning to limited hours of operation during that time. Our hours will revert back to Saturday and Sunday from 10:00am to 2:00pm, Monday 3:30pm-6:00pm, Tuesday 6:00pm-8:00pm, Wednesday 9:00am-12:00pm, and Friday 3:30pm-6:00pm. We apologize for this inconvenience, but also encourage people who are interested in volunteering or holding regular hours (as few or as many as you'd like) to please contact us or stop in. Help us help the community!

New Expanded Hours of Operation!

The Tool Library is now opened 7 DAYS A WEEK! Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday we are open from 9:00am - 6:00pm, Wednesdays we are open from 9:00am - 12:00pm and Saturdays and Sundays we are open from 10:00am - 2:00pm. Be sure to tell your friends and stop in to see what's cooking at the Tool Library!

New Location - 5 W. NORTHRUP PLACE

Thanks to everyone that came out over the weekend to help us move. We are now situated in our new location right next to Just Pizza at 5 W. Northrup Place. Please bear with us as we adjust to our new space. Our hours will continue as normal. Feel free to stop by and say hi, lend a hand, or give a suggestion.

Grand Re-Opening at Our New Location

The University Heights Tool Library is having a grand opening at its new location (5 W. Northrup Place right next to Just Pizza) on May 12th from 3:00pm to 7:00pm. Come see what we're all about, what we've accomplished over the past year and how you can get involved!

Come browse our growing inventory of available tools, enjoy drinks, snacks, a safety workshop, and the progress our volunteers have made on restoring our new storefront space to its original grandeur. The money raised will be reinvested into additional tools as well as targeted small-scale community re-investment projects.

P.S. Tools make a great housewarming gift!
