DoomsdaysCWFree fixes are back! The <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ToolLibrary" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ToolLibrary</a> expands its <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/DareToRepair" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DareToRepair</a> Café program in 2025By Darren Cotton, February 3, 2025"Have broken stuff? Instead of throwing it out, consider attending one of The Tool Library’s free Dare to <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/RepairCaf%C3%A9s" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RepairCafés</a> this February or March."These events cut waste and build community: At each Dare to Repair, people can bring in broken objects like lamps, vacuums, bicycles, toys, clothing, sewing machines, PCs, laptops, and small electronics to be repaired — free of charge — by volunteer fixers. By following along during repairs, attendees can learn the skills they need to fix things on their own."The Tool Library, in partnership with <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BuffaloRecycles" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BuffaloRecycles</a>, will host two Dare to Repair Cafés per month in 2025 — adding weeknight events to existing weekend programming — thanks to new funding from the New York State Pollution Prevention Institute and State Sen. Sean Ryan. March 2025 dates:- Saturday, March 1, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Lancaster Municipal Building, 5423 Broadway, Lancaster, 14086- Thursday, March 13, from 5-7 p.m. at the Delavan-Grider Community Center, 877 E. Delavan Ave., Buffalo, 14215"Anyone interested in bringing appliances or household items to be repaired is strongly encouraged to fill out the registration form in advance."FMI: <a href="https://www.buffalorising.com/2025/02/free-fixes-are-back-the-tool-library-expands-its-dare-to-repair-cafe-program-in-2025/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.buffalorising.com/2025/02/free-fixes-are-back-the-tool-library-expands-its-dare-to-repair-cafe-program-in-2025/</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/RightToRepair" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RightToRepair</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SolarPunkSunday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SolarPunkSunday</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FixIt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FixIt</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/RepairCafesNY" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RepairCafesNY</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/RepairCafe" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RepairCafe</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SolarPunk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SolarPunk</a>

Tinker ☀️Alright! Meet and greet went really well. Both the Executive Director of all the libraries and the director of my specific branch were very interested in building out the tool library.The Executive Director gave me her card and asked me to email her. She'll get me in touch with the project lead who would oversee this.I'll reach out to them and see what the current plans are and if there are any obstacles to address.This is exciting!!!!<a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/solarPunk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#solarPunk</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/LibraryEconomy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LibraryEconomy</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/ToolLibrary" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ToolLibrary</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/mutualAid" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mutualAid</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/LibraryOfThings" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LibraryOfThings</a>

Tinker ☀️Executive Director of our local libraries is doing a meet and greet with the public tonight.Figure I'll head down to the library and join in on the conversation.Now that the <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/seedLibrary" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#seedLibrary</a> is set up and thriving, I'm really interested in setting up a <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/toolLibrary" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#toolLibrary</a>. We have a decent <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/LibraryOfThings" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LibraryOfThings</a> where you can rent GoPros, audio equipment, mobile hotspots, various games, and some tools. But we really can build out our Tool Library more. Think about it. Unless you're a hobbyist or a tradesperson, you really only need a drill when doing specific repairs or hanging a new picture or when moving, etc. Imagine just being able to go down to the library to grab the tools you need when you need them and then returning them for your neighbor to use.I'll let y'all know how it goes!<a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/solarPunk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#solarPunk</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/LibraryEconony" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LibraryEconony</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/mutualAid" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mutualAid</a>
