The all-volunteer Southeast Portland Tool Library (SEPTL) invites DIY enthusiasts to an open house on Saturday, January 16, 11am 4pm, at its new location in Hinson Baptist Church, SE Salmon and SE 20th Ave. The event also celebrates SEPTL’s fifth anniversary serving the community. With this move SEPTL has doubled its floor space, added parking, and streamlined operations to better serve its growing membership of more than 5,000 homeowners and renters. Visit www.septl.org for hours of operation, a realtime searchable database of more than 1,200 available tools, and upcoming workshops. SEPTL’s mission is supported by many generous organizations including Hinson Baptist Church, St David of Wales Episcopal Church, Division Hardware & Paint, Southeast Uplift, PDX Time Bank, Mr Plywood, Your Concrete Guy, Hankins Hardware, Kitchen Share Southeast, and the Buckman Community Association. Sincere and special thanks are due to all the volunteers whose countless hours and tremendous talents keep SEPTL open.
The SE Portland Tool Library SEPTL is a community resource run by volunteers who provide residents of southeast Portland with tools to perform home repairs, tend their yards and gardens, maintain their bikes, build furniture, and take on many other projects – while meeting and sharing knowledge with neighbors.
