We all have something broken collecting dust in the back of our closet. Luckily, the Tuscaloosa Public Library is opening a free repair cafe on January 25th. Keep reading for more details on the event.

Building the Tuscaloosa community

Tuscaloosa Public Library plans to bring the community with this event. Volunteers will repair broken items for those who bring them in for free. If it’s determined that the volunteers don’t have the necessary parts or that the repair will take too long, you’ll be referred to a local business or hardware store.

On top of the cafe building community, the repair cafe aims to reduce waste. We hope to see more events take place like this!
