Repair Cafe In-Person
At Schuylerville Public Library (52 Ferry Street) on Saturday, Sept 28, everything centers on making repairs. Starting at 10am and ending at 12pm, various volunteer repair experts will be available to help make all possible repairs free of charge. Most tools and materials will also be on hand. People visiting the Repair Café will bring along their broken items from home. Limit of two items per person. Small appliances, lamps, hair dryers, radios, clothes, toys... anything that is broken and small enough to carry is welcome and can more than likely be repaired. The Repair Café specialists almost always have the know-how.
By promoting repairs, the Library wants to help reduce mountains of waste. According to Library Director Caitlin Johnson, "By repairing instead of tossing, we lessen the strain on our environment.” This event is being co-sponsored by Climate Smart Schuylerville, a group whose mission is to help the Village of Schuylerville develop and promote environmentally responsible practices in order to preserve Schuylerville’s rich heritage, reduce energy and environmental costs to the Village and taxpayers, and move toward environmental sustainability for present and future generations.
Interested in volunteering for this event, as a repairer? Simply contact Caitlin Johnson at cjohnson@sals.edu. Schuylerville Public Library wishes to organize a Repair Café on a regular basis. News about dates of up-and-coming editions will follow as soon as possible!
