Ames Repair Café

Drop in to a free Repair Café at the Library! Volunteers will help repair broken items to give them a longer life cycle. There is no charge for repairs at the Repair Café.

If volunteers are unable to repair your item, or parts are required, they'll help you find a local repair shop that can help. (If you have replacement parts, you can bring them with your broken item.)

Items for repair must be at the Library by 3:30pm.

Indoor repairs you can bring:

• Sewing & Mending
• Computers & Laptops
• Jewelry & Accessories
• Small Home & Kitchen Appliances

Outdoor repairs you can bring:

• Garden Tools
• Bikes
• Small Engine Repair
