Repair Fairs are free community events where you can bring your broken and beloved bikes, clothes, appliances, and more and work with repair volunteers to fix them.
Depending on volunteer skillsets, we can generally attempt repairs related to:
- small appliances
- clothing and fabric
- costume jewelry
- small electronics
- bikes
- so much more!
We can't fix:
- gas tools
- broken screens
- fine jewelry
- sewing machines (our sewing volunteers are always too busy fixing clothing to have time to also fix machines!)

***Due to increasing event popularity, we now have a limit of 2 items per person!***
***We do not accept new repairs after 3:30pm!***
If you are interested in volunteering at this event as a repair helper please visit chicagotoollibrary.org/volunteer to sign up.
