Do you have a talent for repairing or mending items? Sign up to volunteer at the library's upcoming Repair Cafe on Saturday, November 7th!

Repair Cafes are an excellent way to promote sustainability and using what you already have, by offering a FREE workshop where volunteer fixers can troubleshoot and even repair your items. We would appreciate volunteers with a variety of fixing talents.
