WASHINGTON NEIGHBORHOOD TOOL LIBRARY. The Library was established to aid citizens accomplish things on their own and inexpensively.
To check out a tool, an individual had to become a member by filling out an application and passing a number of guidelines. Once this was done, they received their “library” card and could check out as many tools as needed.
The 1977 Dubuque City Directory listed the address as 1697 Jackson Street.
