Transform Joplin Tool Lending Library
Policy for Use
Effective 4.2.2012
The Tool Lending Library was established for the purpose of providing tools for use in the rebuild process of homes and properties affected by the May 22, 2011 tornado. The tools are available to home owners and volunteer groups for the purpose of property repair and rebuild.
The tools in the Tool Lending Library have been generously donated to Transform Joplin, A Mission Ministry of Immanuel Lutheran Church, by Stanley DeWalt Tools and other partnering volunteer groups and individuals. It is the responsibility of Transform Joplin to be good stewards of this gift that was put under our supervision.
This policy is not negotiable. To ensure proper usage, maintenance, and availability of all of the tools, the items within this policy will be firmly enforced. If an individual or volunteer group cannot for any reason abide by these guidelines, then they will not be allowed to have access to this Tool Lending Library.
