Machun 1-dong Tool Library

[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Songpa-gu (Mayor Park Seong-su) will operate a reservation system from the 22nd to allow residents to conveniently apply online for the Living Tool Library, which was previously operated only by visiting each neighborhood community center.

The Living Tool Library is a project that lends various essential household tools free of charge. It is equipped with about 40 types of tools such as electric drills, hand saws, pruning shears, and screwdriver sets, and operates at 27 neighborhood community centers within the district.

Until now, residents had the inconvenience of having to visit the neighborhood community center in person to apply for tool rentals at the Living Tool Library.

Accordingly, the district introduced an online reservation system linked with ‘Gongyunuri’ to enable residents to use the service more conveniently through advance reservations.

‘Gongyunuri’ is an integrated sharing service portal where public open resources nationwide can be searched and reserved in one place. Through the portal, the district provides a list of items available for rent at each of the 27 neighborhood centers, enhancing convenience by allowing users to check availability before making a reservation.

Anyone who is a Songpa-gu resident or works at a business within the district can use the service. Up to three items per person can be rented for 2 nights and 3 days.

After making a reservation through Gongyunuri, users can visit the respective neighborhood community center to pick up the items. On-site visits for reservation and application are also possible, but an ID must be presented when visiting.

The district plans to add a direct link to the tool rental reservation menu on the Songpa-gu website to further assist residents’ convenience.

Park Seong-su, Mayor of Songpa-gu, stated, “We have introduced an online reservation system for the Living Tool Library to address the inconvenience experienced by residents.” He added, “We will continue to promote various sharing service projects that enhance residents’ convenience to make Songpa a better place to live.”
