No problem. Maine Tool Library is here for the casual fixer-up- per. The stock list is exten- sive and eclectic–from elec- tric drills to a castle-shaped cake pan.

You’ll also have to pay a high late fee.” portlandmainetoollibrary.org L e n d i n g a helping hammer Crustacean Conservation There’s a glimmer of hope for snow- sports enthusiasts as a co- alition of local businesses and non- profits has reportedly made a verbal agree- ment with the Berry family to buy Saddleback Mountain Resort, the 723-acre ski resort, for a re- ported $6M.
