Repair Cafés are a free community meeting place focused on repairing broken items. Visitors can bring their broken items from home to have a repair made by a skilled fixer. Repair Cafes began in Amsterdam in 2009 as response to increasing consumption and our throw away economy. It offers a sustainable alternative by teaching people to see their possessions in a new light, and appreciate the value in fixing things. Repair Cafes build community ties by offering a space for neighbors to get together, share their skills and knowledge, and create a more sustainable future. We are having this event during Earth Week to emphasize the importance of sustainability and waste reduction. Lithgow Public Library recently started the process of becoming a Certified Sustainable Library through the Sustainable Library Initiative, and this Repair Café is one of the many ways we are working toward certification. A big thank you to our volunteers for making this happen! Interested in volunteering for a future Repair Café? Please email reference@lithgowlibrary.org.
