Big welcome to Sean, our new Tool Librarian! 🙌 He first came in as a renter, then a volunteer, and now he’s leading the way—keeping inventory in shape, writing newsletters, and even teaching classes. When he’s not here, you’ll find him tinkering, gaming, playing D&D, or reading. Stop in and say hi!
