The Monroe Street Neighborhood Center Toledo Tool Library<\/em> kicked off their \u201cHelping to Transform a Community and Lives\u201d Toledo on May 27, 2025. This program allows people to borrow up to five tools at a time for one week. It is like borrowing a book from the library, but in this case, they are tools you borrow to fix up your home and\/or for community projects. Because individuals, groups, and even corporations can sponsor the Toledo Tool Library. If a person, group, or corporation is interested in borrowing tools, such as an electric drill, cutters, a sawhorse, etc. all they need to do is the following: 1) become a member by filling out their application form that also goes over their \u201cTool Lending Agreement,\u201d 2) pay the \u201csliding scale\u201d membership fee that is based on income or is\/was awarded as a gift, and 3) prove their identity and residency. This program is only open to residents of the Greater Toledo area and adults over the age of 18. The sliding annual membership scale is based on annual income. If you make $10,000- $20,000 annually, it only costs you $10 a year. From $10, it goes up another $10 on every $10,000 you make.<\/p>\n

The Toledo Tool Library is located in Toledo\u2019s Bancroft-Upton-Monroe-Auburn (BUMA) Neighborhood at 3557 Monroe Street, Toledo, Ohio. It was made possible by a grant from the Toledo Community Foundation.<\/em> If you want more information, you can contact Tracci K. Johnson, the Executive Director, at 419-473-1167, ext. 206. Donations can be made on their website: https:\/\/monroesnc.com\/donate\/#<\/a>. A $500 donation makes you a \u201cGolden Hammer Sponsor.\u201d The Golden Hammer Sponsorship <\/em>helps the organization buy bigger ticketed items that have not been donated, and it comes with a lifetime membership and invitation to all their special events. A $250 Silver Nail Sponsor<\/em> helps families who cannot afford the annual membership to become a member, and the sponsor gets an invitation to all the Toledo Tool Library\u2019s special events. A $100 General Annual Membership<\/em> helps the organization make repairs to the tools and helps in replacing batteries.

lanz\u00f3 su programa “Ayudando a Transformar una Comunidad y Vidas” en Toledo el 27 de mayo de 2025. Este programa permite tomar prestado hasta cinco herramientas a la vez durante una semana. Es como pedir prestado un libro de la biblioteca, pero en este caso, son herramientas que se toman prestadas para arreglar la casa o para proyectos comunitarios. Personas, grupos, e incluso empresas pueden patrocinar la Biblioteca de Herramientas de Toledo. Si una persona, grupo o empresa est\u00e1 interesada en tomar prestadas herramientas, como un taladro el\u00e9ctrico, cortadores, un caballete, etc., solo necesita hacer lo siguiente: 1) hacerse miembro completando su formulario de solicitud que tambi\u00e9n incluye su “Contrato de Pr\u00e9stamo de Herramientas,” 2) pagar la cuota de membres\u00eda basada en los ingresos o que era un regalo, y 3) comprobar su identidad y residencia. Este programa solo est\u00e1 abierto a residentes del \u00e1rea metropolitana de Toledo y adultos mayores de 18 a\u00f1os. La cuota de membres\u00eda anual es afirmada en los ingresos anuales. Si ganas $10,000 o $20,000 al a\u00f1o, solo le cuesta $10 al a\u00f1o. A partir de $10, el costo aumenta $10 por cada $10,000 que ganas.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

La Biblioteca de Herramientas de Toledo se encuentra en el barrio Bancroft-Upton-Monroe-Auburn (BUMA) de Toledo, en 3557 Monroe Street, Toledo, Ohio.

Puede hacer donaciones en su sitio web: https:\/\/monroesnc.com\/donate\/#. Una donaci\u00f3n de $500 le convierte en un “Patrocinador Golden Hammer.” El Patrocinio Golden Hammer<\/em> ayuda a la organizaci\u00f3n a comprar art\u00edculos de mayor valor que no hayan sido donados, e incluye una membres\u00eda por vida e invitaci\u00f3n a todos sus eventos especiales. Un patrocinador de $250 para el Clavo de Plata<\/em> ayuda a las familias que no pueden pagar la membres\u00eda anual a hacerse miembros, y el patrocinador recibe una invitaci\u00f3n a todos los eventos especiales de la Biblioteca de Herramientas de Toledo. Una Membres\u00eda Anual General<\/em> de $100 ayuda a la organizaci\u00f3n a reparar las herramientas y a reemplazar las bater\u00edas. Para solicitar la membres\u00eda o consultar su inventario, puede visitar la Toledo Tool Library en MyTurn.com.<\/p>\n
