KW Library of Things is now offering a free Repair Café to extend the life of everyday goods, reduce landfill waste, and build repair know-how in our community!
We repair items such as yard tools, small household appliances, housewares, umbrellas, gadgets, jewelry, sewing/patching, and sewing machines.
Please bring the broken item you want repaired, plus any additional parts, electrical cords, or batteries needed to test it.
We will not work on gasoline-powered equipment, welding projects, large TVs, microwaves, pressure canners, refrigeration equipment, appliances from other countries on different voltages, clothing alterations, or pant hems.
We try our best to repair all items, but if we can't fix yours, we suggest donating it for parts or recycling it safely.
You can expect to meet a handy KWLOT volunteer or staff member who will help repair your item and teach you repair skills along the way. Expect a community feel, with good tunes, and friendly faces excited to help you repair! We hope most repairs take less than half an hour, but we ask for your flexibility as some repairs may take longer. Come at the start of your time slot and we will welcome you then and update you on timeframes.
This event is made possible through the Ontario Trillium Foundation Grow Grant.
