One year of lending, in numbers

We opened with 61 tools on donated shelving. As of this week there are 214 items, 388 members and 2,140 completed loans. Nine items have gone missing for good, which is less than we budgeted for.

The most borrowed thing is the cordless drill, by a wide margin. The least borrowed is a biscuit joiner that has left the building exactly once.

Thank you to the eleven people who staff the desk. If you can give two evenings a month, there is a sign-up sheet by the door.
