Longer opening for Crieff’s Tool Library

- MELANIE BONN

DIY tools, garden machinery and even sewing machines can be borrowed from an environmen­tal hub in Crieff.

Remake in Muthill Road benefited from the generosity of shoppers giving through the Co-op Local Community Fund, which sees shoppers back local good causes by pledging a contributi­on from their in-store purchases.

The donation from the store will now enable Remake to open its public tool library for longer.

The new opening hours are: Thursday 10am-6pm, Friday 10am-4pm and Saturday 10am-4pm.

The Remake Tool Library is a free service available to the Strathearn and

Strathalla­n community and is one of only five of its kind in Scotland.

Just like a traditiona­l library, people can borrow any item for a week and then return it for someone else to use, thus aiding sustainabi­lity.

Remake community co-ordinator, Fiona Airey, said:“Our tool library is bursting at the seams with a variety of tools and equipment that you may only need occasional­ly, such as marquees, DIY power tools, home decorating equipment, sewing machines and garden machinery.

“You can find our full inventory and loan items at crieffcomm­unitytooll­ibrary.myturn. com or pop down to Remake to find out more.”
