Getting Started
To ensure the most people can benefit from this program all borrowers must have a current Kenton County Public Library Card. If you don’t have one, stop by your nearest library with a valid ID and a piece of current mail to pick one up. If you do have one, remember to check that it is current and all information is up to date.
NEW REQUIREMENTS:
Come to the shop during open hours in order to register to borrow tools. Bring valid ID and cell phone (so we can confirm your phone number). You will fill out and sign a Borrower's Agreement that will last the year. Email us at CovingtonEmpowerTools@gmail.com if you have questions.
FAQ
-
No, there are no holds or reserves for Empower Tools. Our collection is very small and we are unable to hold tools for patrons. Because all of our tools are in the catalog, they look like they can be put on hold, but they cannot, nor can they be renewed.
-
Empower Tools at an offsite (not at the library branch) location, at 321 W. MLK Blvd (also known as 12th St) inside the Hellmann Creative Center. We are open on Monday and Wednesday from 4 pm to 7 pm, and Friday from 1 pm to 6 pm.
-
You can check out up to 3 items for 7 days at a time. After 7 days, our tools do accrue fines at 5 dollars a day, per tool. We encourage you to bring them back on time, either to the Empower Tools location, or you can also return items to the Covington Branch library.
