Published on March 27, 2025

The South Pasadena Public Library, is hosting a Repair Café on Saturday, April 19, from noon to 3:00 p.m. in the Library Community Room, located at 1115 El Centro Street, South Pasadena, CA 91030. A Repair Café is a free space where volunteers will help fix your personal and household goods to promote reuse and reduce consumption. It is the perfect place to take your broken small appliances, worn clothes, and dying plants for a second chance at life.

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. Join us for indigo dyeing with the South Pasadena Community Garden. Please bring clean materials that you would like to have dyed, such as towels, shirts, and totes.
