North Portland Tool Library rocks!! It's way better than the run of the mill library where there are books, newspapers, magazines, and if your lucky internet access. No, the tool library has chop saws, cement floats, lawn mowers, extension cords, rakes, fruit pickers, chainsaws, chisels, sledge hammers, tile cutters....you name it, they got. You don't even need a library card to check it out...just a piece of mail from your current address. Forget books. I'm checking out a table saw. 

Actually we started with one lawn mower, an extension tree branch cutter, one circular saw and a sledge hammer. Apparently, we were lucky to get the sledge hammer, a very popular item at the tool library.
