Repair Cafe

We throw away a lot of stuff, often because it’s cheaper to replace rather than repair them or we just don’t know how to fix it. That’s where Repair Cafés come in! Together with our volunteers, you can have your broken items repaired instead of tossing them.

Join us for a Repair Cafe at the Smithville branch of the Mid-Continent Public Library

We’ll be doing fixes for items such as:

• Clothing/textiles
• Computers (Virus/malware removal, file transfers, other basic repairs)
• Electronics
• Jewelry
• Small appliances (e.g., replacing cords on handmixers, toasters, irons, etc.)

Please note: To help minimize the wait for everyone, we’ll have a limit of 1 item per repair category (e.g., 1 shirt) and a total of 3 items per turn (e.g., 1 shirt, 1 lamp and 1 bracelet). We welcome you to stay for additional turns if you have more items in need of fixing!
