Pro Tool Rentals
Professional-grade equipment for jobs the lending library can't cover. Available to members and non-members on a per-rental basis.
Why Pro Tools?
Access
High-grade equipment that's too expensive or specialized for the standard lending collection — table saws, paint sprayers, cordless lawn mowers, chainsaws.
Sustain the library
Rental fees fund the lending program. Every rental helps keep tools on the shelf for the rest of the community.

How It Works
Sign up and reserve online
Choose a tool, create or sign in to your account, and authorize your credit card online. Your tool is reserved for three library opening days after signup.
Pick up by your deadline
Bring your photo ID and physical credit card during open hours before the deadline in your confirmation email. Staff will verify your ID, inspect the tool with you, and complete the rental agreement and payment.
Return it clean
Bring the tool back by the return date in the same condition you picked it up. Late returns and damage are billed per the contract.
