Tool Library Checkout Tracker
Tool Library Checkout Tracker records condition going out as well as coming back, because that is the only way damage is ever attributable.

Loan record
14 items on loan, 3 overdue by more than a week, and 2 returned in worse condition than they went out — which the condition field is there to catch.
How the Tool Library Checkout Tracker works
- Record the item, borrower and due date at checkout, and the condition it left in.
- Record the condition again on return. Without both, damage becomes an argument rather than a record.
- Review the overdue list regularly, since an item nobody chases stops coming back at all.
FAQ
Why record condition at both ends?
Because damage discovered at return with no record of the condition at checkout cannot be attributed. Two condition notes turn a dispute into a fact.
How long should loan periods be?
Short enough that items circulate and long enough to finish a job — a week is common for hand tools, less for the few items everyone wants. The overdue list tells you whether your period is realistic.
Is the data stored anywhere?
It stays in your browser. For a library with several volunteers a shared system is better, since a record only one person can see is not really a record.
