The international Repair CafĂ© slogan is “Toss it? No way!” The Moscow Library wants to help our community put that idea into action — so we offer four free Repair CafĂ©s a year. Community members can save money, learn new skills and keep as many things out of the landfill as possible by bringing items in need of repair to the 1912 Center Great Room.
Volunteer experts will share their repair skills in such areas as clothing and textiles; book mending; small appliances; knife sharpening; jewelry; and gluing options. We make no guarantee that items will be fully repaired, and it’s understood that you bring items at your own risk. But hey, you can learn a repair skill, it’s free, and it’s a fun way to socialize with your community. Bonus: light refreshments are provided.
Partial funding for Repair Café is supplied by the Friends of the Moscow Library.
Virtual Repair Cafés
During the COVID-19 Pandemic, we were unable to do in person Repair Café so we did some digital tutorials with some of our awesome volunteers!
“Repair CafĂ©s are free meeting places and they’re all about repairing things (together). In the place where a Repair CafĂ© is located, you’ll find tools and materials to help you make any repairs you need. On clothes, furniture, electrical appliances, bicycles, crockery, appliances, toys, et cetera. You’ll also find expert volunteers, with repair skills in all kinds of fields.”
