There's no need to panic if your car battery is less than dependable. The Library has a way for you to jump-start your engine by yourself.
The portable car jump starter can be used to jump-start batteries in vehicles, using the included jumper cables. The unit can also serve as a USB charging port to charge devices such as smartphones or tablets.
The kit includes a jump starter device, jumper cables, device charging cord and user's manual.
Jump starters can be borrowed for 14 days; renewals are not available. Materials can be reserved by Worthington Libraries cardholders; they must be returned to the accounts desk, not in the book drops. The replacement cost for a jump starter is $35.
