on Saturday, Lethbridge Tool Library Organized a Bruise & Screw Repair Cafe for those in need of help fixing broken items.
This was the first incident since the non-profit was formed in May this year.
“It was a lovely partnership wine making “To provide a place and opportunity for people to get down to things they want to see they can fix,” said Brendan Hood, co-founding director of the Lethbridge Tool Library. “We were able to provide the expertise, tools, and equipment to fix those things — everything from laptops to lamps.”
Hood said that with the rising cost of goods, more and more people are trying to extend the life of their goods and repair cafes are becoming a popular way to reduce waste and develop DIY skills.
Hood said, “We, as a community service, can help people interested in repairs to repair these items free of charge and show everyone that whatever’s broken gets thrown away.” should go.” “Things can be saved. Things can be revived.”
He looked at tool libraries in other cities and decided that Lethbridge needed one as well. Their goal is to provide people in the community with access to tools and equipment through a low-cost membership program.
Hood said they hope to host more Repair Cafes in the future and find a permanent home for the Lethbridge Tool Library inventory by next year.
