Sharon exploring tool-lending shed; Cat Buxton to run community survey
Summary
The committee discussed potential locations and variables for a tool-lending shed; Cat Buxton agreed to set up a survey using a Hartford template. Members noted regional growth in 'Libraries of Things' and Jill Wilcox reported local examples in Randolph run by Amy Grasmick at Kimball Library.
Cat Buxton agreed to set up a community survey based on a template used in Hartford to gather input about possible locations and operational variables for a tool-lending shed. Committee members observed that "Libraries of Things" are becoming popular throughout the region and that solid-waste departments are exploring up-recycling and sharing programs.
Jill Wilcox said she recently attended an event in Randolph that discussed needs and successes for such efforts and reported that Amy Grasmick runs a Library of Things at Kimball Library in Randolph. The committee recorded no formal vote; next steps include deploying the survey and reviewing responses.
