Thanks DPW. If this screws up your reporting or workflow feel free to close it. I really I am breaking the rules a bit here.

Ben - a comment from an Oakland resident: you should be talking to the Oakland Public Library, as they are the ones who manage the tool lending library! Here is the tool library web site:

Thanks Karen!

Original idea of tool lending started in Berkeley.
Berkeley citizen started the idea on his own, with space given from public library and years later City of Berkeley took it under its wing.
People that work for government don't like idea of helping people, so idea had hard pregnancy period.
Government officials on other hand are very finding creative ways to raise taxes to its citizens and than wasting them on useless purposes.
Instead of creating projects with voluntary patricipation, they like to always increase their budgets, so they can can waste them.
