Attention Library users! Coquitlam Public Library has two new pieces of Lendable Tech available for you to place a hold on today.

The advanced vehicle diagnostic scanner helps you figure out what your car’s ‘check engine’ light is trying to tell you (and hopefully save you a few bucks at the mechanic’s).

The stud finder is the best way to hang or anchor shelves, put up priceless paintings, or make sure your TV stays put on your wall. Use it to locate metal or wooden studs in your walls.
