Mongo’s Tool Library
We are so thrilled to be able to offer our Tool Library to our community! Please read the steps below carefully before submitting a tool request.
1) Check our Inventory to make sure we have what you need and that it is available. If it’s not, we suggest hitting up our friends at North Durham Tool Library or Keep Durham Beautiful. Our Inventory is sorted just by name and tool ID, so please make sure you know what the tool you need looks like before inquiring!
2) Submit a Tool Request via the form to the right on this page. Someone will be in touch with you in 2-3 business days. Please be patient as this is a shared project run by busy Scrappers!
3) Once your request has been received, we’ll check our stock and get back to you with availability of the tool, location of our Tool Library within the Reuse Center, combination for the door lock, and where the tool is located within the library. You’re welcome to come grab your tool anytime during store business hours (10:30am - 5:30pm). Please make sure you fully close the door back when you leave the library!
4) Our Tool Library is pay what you can, so if you are able, please submit a small donation so we can keep this community resource rolling. There will be QR codes posted in the Tool Library and in your tool rental confirmation email.
5) If any questions come up, please reach out to programs@scrapexchange.org.
Mongo’s Tool Library Disclaimer
TSE staff is not able to offer facilitation in any projects or teaching you how to use the tool you have rented from the Tool Library. Please make sure you secure your own helpers and familiarize yourself with whatever item you have rented from us. We do not have a staffer on site to oversee anything beyond access to the library.
