Lendery

Georgina Public Library (GPL) and Milwaukee Tool have partnered together to create a new Tool Lending Library. This new initiative brings one of the biggest tool lending libraries in Canada right to community members seeking to build new skills and realize their most ambitious home and DIY projects.

Made possible through generous support from Milwaukee Tool, a subsidiary of Techtronic Industries Co. Ltd. (TTI), the Tool Lending Library will provide eligible GPL cardholders access to a wide range of high-quality tools and related equipment for home projects, repairs and skill-building. 

Milwaukee Tool is supporting the initiative by donating a collection of over 200 tools, including Milwaukee® cordless power tools, hand tools, accessories and outdoor power equipment, all showcased in a custom display. The collection will be housed at the Keswick Library Branch in the Georgina Ice Palace, where eligible library cardholders can borrow tools free of charge. See the Milwaukee Tool Library Page for more information.

C-Pens are handy, portable devices designed to make reading and learning more accessible for people of all ages. They look like a highlighter or pen, but instead of marking text, they scan it! By running the C-Pen over a line of printed text, it can instantly read the words out loud or display them on a screen.

C-Pens are particularly helpful for individuals with dyslexia, vision impairments, or other reading challenges. They can assist with reading comprehension by defining words, translating text into different languages, and even saving notes for later. Many C-Pens are lightweight, easy to use, and often come with features like built-in dictionaries and USB connectivity for transferring data to a computer.
