Welcome to the University Heights Tool Library

Light the Heights

Wondering what to do with those old Christmas lights and decorations sitting in your attic/garage/basement? Put them to good use with the 2nd Annual Light the Heights and help us decorate storefronts along Main Street!

We will be accepting donations all this week during normal business hours and will start decking out storefronts this Saturday, December 7th at 10AM. We're looking for volunteers and creative ideas for each storefront!

Holiday Hours

The Tool Library will be closed for the holiday from Wednesday, November 27th to Sunday, December 1st. (Loans will be extended through this break) We will re-open on Monday, December 2nd.
