Missouri tool library
The sharing economy has found its way to Springfield in the form of a tool library.
Equipping an essential home toolkit can easily cost $250 with just regularly used items. That does not include specialty items often needed for home repair or maintenance projects.
The tool library is now in a new location, behind the O’Reilly Center for Hope at 1518 E. Dale St., Springfield. The annual membership is currently $20. A person can check out no more than five tools at once.
The Springfield tool library has walk-in hours on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesdays from noon to 4 p.m. The tool library can also be opened by appointment by emailing [email protected] or calling 417-888-2020.
