Need a hand truck for that upcoming move? How about a ladder to hang that ceiling fan before temperatures rise? The Friends of the Copper Queen Library, through fundraising, memberships, and donations, helps the CQL buy NEW tools for the Tool Library located at the San Jose Annex. You'll find hammers, saws, and drills, of course, but they also have a car scanner code reader, a Marshall guitar amp, and other not-so-expected tools you can sign out to get the job done right. Find all sixty-five pages of available tools along with lending requirements and details on the CQL website.
