Kempsey Tool Library

This Tool Library has been established to enable people in the community to loan tools to assist them build, repair and create. The Tool Library will have a range of tools from mowers to drills and most things in between. To loan a tool you just need to become a member of the library for a small annual fee.
As we build the Tool Library we would love to have your feedback on what tools are most important to you.
