Get Your Broken Stuff Fixed at #TuscaloosaLibrary’s First-Ever #RepairCafe

by Stephen Dethrage, January 6, 2025

"The #TuscaloosaAlabama Public #Library aims to reduce waste and bolster #community later this month by hosting its first-ever Repair Cafe, where visitors can get their broken things mended for free.

"Kayla Sikes, an Adult Services Librarian and spokesperson for TPL, announced the initiative in a Monday press release.

"She said #RepairCafes are a growing trend worldwide - handymen and women volunteer to spend their time and share their expertise to fix broken household items for their neighbors in the community.

"Torn #garments can be mended, for example, or a malfunctioning #toaster made to work again, or a #bicycle chain repaired and reset, all without cost. The program reduces waste, saves money and fosters friendships and connections.

"'We are excited to launch our first Repair Cafe at the Tuscaloosa Public Library,' Sikes said. 'This event underscores our commitment to #sustainability and community engagement. It's an opportunity for people to learn new skills, connect with neighbors, and contribute to a more sustainable future.'

"TPL has scheduled their first Repair Cafe for Saturday, January 25th, 2025 from 12 p.m. to 3 p.m."
