Requests and loans
Neighbors approve requests for their own tools here. Approving checks the tool out and sets the due date. When it comes back, mark it returned and it goes back on the shelf.

History
Lend a tool
List a tool you own and are happy to lend to Valentine neighbors. You set the loan length, you approve every request, and borrowers arrange pickup with you directly. You can remove your listing at any time from the catalog.
Good candidates
Extension ladders, pressure washers, carpet cleaners, folding tables and chairs, canopies, post hole diggers, tile saws, and anything else that spends most of the year in the garage.
How it works
1
Find and request
Search the catalog and send a borrow request with your name, contact, and the dates you need the tool.
2
Owner approves
The owner approves the request and arranges pickup with you. Most loans run 3 days, and owners set their own terms.
3
Return it ready
Bring it back clean, fueled or charged, and on time, so the next neighbor can use it. The owner marks it returned here.
Library ground rules
- Neighbors lend to neighbors: borrowers and lenders both live in Valentine.
- No fees. If something breaks in normal use, tell the owner right away and work it out in good faith.
- Return tools clean and ready for the next person, by the due date on your loan.
- Chainsaws and other high risk tools are lent at the owner's discretion, sometimes only with a quick orientation.
- The Valentine Neighborhood Association hosts the catalog. Loans are private agreements between the two neighbors involved.
