We have immense appreciation for our volunteers who consistently show up for shifts. They are the backbone of our community, and we're endlessly thankful for their support ???? NESTL September Volunteer of the Month: Sarah has been a dedicated volunteer at NESTL for over a year and has volunteered every week this month! She is a friendly and positive person who consistently does two things during her shifts: (1) bake volunteers chocolate chip cookies and (2) help a lot of members. She recently took the initiative to build a new router bit holder too. We love to hear updates about the camper van she's building using tool library tools and can’t wait to see the final product. Thanks for your invaluable support Sarah, the community wouldn’t be the same without people like you! STL September Volunteer of the Month: Kathleen has been one of our most consistent volunteers over the past couple of months. Her dedication to learning our systems and her understated yet quick sense of humor have been a pleasure to have around. You can find Kathleen at Shoreline on weeknights, checking people out, adding to our inventory, and sharing her knowledge of paint with our community. Be sure to say hello to Kathleen next time you are in, and if you are lucky, maybe she will share her battered dandelion recipe with you!

Ava and her University of Washington Human Centered Design & Engineering capstone team made this awesome sign for us to help folks navigate the NE Seattle Tool Library! ??
