Do you have a broken item at home that needs a repair? Bring it to the Repair Café and learn how to repair it alongside our Fixers! We cannot guarantee fixers for all items. REGISTRATION OPENS Sept 2
At the Repair Café, one of our handy volunteers will help you fix your broken item. The main goal of the Repair Café is to facilitate community collaboration and to kindle people's enthusiasm for a sustainable society. Learn a new skill, save money, and help the environment. Don’t replace it, repair it!
Visit our official BPL RepairCafé.org webpage.
The Repair Café runs from 10am-1pm. Register for one of the two available registration windows: 10-11:30 or 11:30-1.
This program is offered in partnership with Living Green Barrie, Firebird Community Cycle and BRIX Makerspace.
We are looking for volunteer fixers! Fixers do not need to be professionals! Hobbyists and fixing enthusiasts are welcome!! We're looking for people who can fix electronics, furniture, bikes, simple sewing.. and more! Visit the Library website to apply as a volunteer.
