      Wooden bed frame built with tools from the Tool Library
      Check out some tools - build a bed!

      ELPL's Tool Library, opens a new window has been well used since it debuted in the Fall of 2017.  We have received compliments from many happy, satisfied patrons, but a few weeks ago, we got something even better.  A patron checked out some tools from ELPL and used them to build a bed!

      To our builder patron, thank you for sharing photos of your completed work and sweet dreams!
