The next Repair Cafe will be from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. on June 7 at the Vancouver Community Library, 901 C St. in Vancouver.
People can bring bicycles, tools, knives, clothes, small appliances, small electronics and jewelry in need of repair, and volunteers will try to fix them for free.
The goal is to keep things out of landfills, conserve resources and save money. Repair efforts are successful about 80 percent of the time, organizers say.
Attendees are encouraged to bring replacement parts, such as zippers or cords. They must be present during the repair, and those with multiple items must re-enter the line after an item is repaired.
