Topline:
Libraries in Los Angeles County carry more than just books and movies. They also carry tools. This Old House Radio Hour host Jenn Largesse talks with Los Angeles County Library Director Skye Patrick about the impact the tool lending library is having on the community and how other libraries around the country can start lending tools.
About the segment: Power tools, hand tools, measuring tools, clamps and jigs. These are just a few examples of the kinds of tools that libraries in L.A. County started lending in May 2022. They’re now available at six locations across the county. Tools can be accessed through an online catalog here.
