Sunday, June 8, 1:00-4:00pm
The East Brunswick Public Library, the East Brunswick Sustainability Task Force, and Alpha Delta Kappa want you to keep still usable items out of landfills. They are holding their second Repair Café at the library (2 Jean Walling Civic Center Drive) on Sunday, June 8 from 1:00 pm to 4:00 pm.
A Repair Café is a community-based initiative to promote repairing household items instead of throwing them out. Community members can bring in items in need of repair to be fixed on the spot thanks to the help from volunteer repairers.
For this session of Repair Café, you can bring clothing, textiles, soft toys, jewelry, lamps, and bicycles. Examples of repairs can be pants with a tear in the knee, broken links on necklaces, bracelets that are coming undone, and bike brake adjustments.
For faster service, if you know what part you need for the repair, please bring it. Not all sizes of materials can be guaranteed.
The Repair Café will be held in Meeting Rooms 1 and 2. Live and recorded demonstrations will be shared during the event so you can learn how to repair it from the comfort of your own home.

This event is co-hosted by the East Brunswick Public Library, East Brunswick Sustainability Task Force, the Friends of the East Brunswick Environmental Commission, and Alpha Delta Kappa.
