Schuylerville Public Library Hosts Repair Café

At Schuylerville Public Library (52 Ferry Street) on Saturday, September 26, everything centers on making repairs. Starting at 11:30am and ending at 1:30pm, 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.”    

Interested in volunteering for this event, as a repairer?  Simply contact Caitlin Johnson at cjohnson@sals.edu or 518-695-6641.  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!
