      When you think of Repair Café, think of appliances, clothes, bikes, toys, and other broken objects that will be brought back to life by tinkers, tailors, and fix-it aficionados.

      By News Desk

      For the newbie, Repair Café is a wonderful free community event that brings together those with a need and those who can fill that need. It’s based on a sharing economy philosophy.

      The South Pasadena Public Library, in partnership with the South Pasadena Community Garden, is hosting a Repair Café on Saturday, April 20, from noon to 3:00 pm in the Library Community Room, located at 1115 El Centro Street, South Pasadena, CA 91030.

      The Repair Café will provide the following services, free of charge on a first-come- first-served basis: bike tune-up and diagnosis, small appliance repair, jewelry repair, clothes mending, and plant diagnosis. Please note, all fixers and menders are volunteers. As a result, service availability and item repair are not guaranteed. Additionally, patrons of the Repair Café are required to provide their own replacement parts, as needed. Don’t have anything that needs fixing? No problem! Enjoy a free book swap and prizes.

      Sowing South Pasadena programming is supported in whole or in part by the U.S. Institute of Museum and Library Services under the provisions of the Library Services and Technology Act, administered in California by the State Librarian.
