The Northeast Portland Tool Library Needs Your Help
Did you know that the tool library operates with no paid staff, and is a 100% volunteer-driven effort? We are currently looking for more wonderful people to continue the library’s success.
Volunteers are needed to cover shifts on Saturdays and Wednesdays. Shifts are 2-3 hours long – it is busy and goes fast! Most people take a shift per month, a fairly easy way to share the work. You need not have tool knowledge, and you just might learn a few things! This is a great way to meet your NE neighbors.
Other volunteer needs: tool repair, tool sharpening, and building shelving when we move to our new space (fingers crossed!).
We have several people who like to talk to the public at our NEPTL booth. Want to join them? We need people for the upcoming Alberta Street Fair on Setember 12.
Please contact Robert if you are interested, at 503-490-5153.
