PEI Public Library Service adds home and garden tools to their collection

The PEI Public Library Service has added an assortment of home and garden tools to its Library of Things collection so that all Islanders can access these types of tools for free. 

Anyone with a PEI Public Library card can have these items delivered to their local library branch to pick-up and borrow. The new items include:

  • Bike repair kits
  • Cultivators
  • Gardening edgers
  • Gardening hoes
  • Garden tool sets
  • Home tool sets
  • Rakes
  • Shovels
  • Spading forks
  • Stud finders

“Using the library and its resources is a great way for families on PEI to try new activities without the usual associated costs. I hope that the addition of these tools will encourage even more Islanders to see what our libraries have to offer.”

- Education and Early Years Minister Natalie Jameson.
