A New Library Experience

This summer, the Millvale Community Library hopes to launch Pittsburgh’s first tool lending library which will allow Allegheny County Library cardholders to check out tools in the same way they check out books. To be able to launch this program, they need your help! From tire levers to pedal wrenches, they are looking for donations to start this tool library to give all cyclists access to tools they might need.

In particular, they are looking for:

Allen / Hex wrenches

Bicycle Repair Stand

Bike Chain Cleaning tool kit

Bike Chain rivet extractor

Cable and housing cutter

Cable stretcher

Combination wrenches

Lock Ring Remover

Pedal wrenches

Pliers

Screwdrivers

Spoke wrenches

Sprocket remover / Chain whip

Tire levers

Torx Keys

Truing Stand

Wheel Dishing Gauge

A donation of any one of these tools would be help. All donations are tax deductible! You can drop tools off at the Millvale library or email Dan at djmalakoff@yahoo.com to arrange a pick-up.
