AADL is ending the experimental phase of this service for the season. We will stop accepting new reservations on September 30, 2019, and will not fill reservations for dates after October 31st, 2019. The service will return in the spring with a new, much easier to use process! In the meantime, all tools are now requestable!
To initiate the reservation process please fill out this form. You will receive an email when your reservation is ready for pickup. Reservations are available for pickup at the Downtown Library.

Congratulations, you have found the tools event bookings page!
Do you need a Giant Connect 4 for your summer party? Want to play Mega Chess at your outdoor wedding? Need a projector for a presentation? Then placing an event booking may be for you. Traditional library requests work just like waiting in a checkout line: you get your spot and then wait your turn. But that's not too helpful if you want something for a specific date. Booking a tool means you'll get what you need, when you need it.
Due to high demand some items may be unavailable for pickup on the requested date. In that instance a substitution will be made when possible.
For best results, please place your tools event booking at least a week in advance of your event.
A valid Ann Arbor District Library card will be required to check out the items. Info on obtaining a card can be found here.
