Have a favorite lamp that won't turn on, a bike with a damaged part,  a wobbly table or chair, or any other beloved household item that could use a little TLC?  There's no better way to celebrate Earth Day than to rescue a broken object from being discarded!  Come to the Repair Café, a joint project of the Library and the Town of Colonie Department of Planning and Economic Development, to connect with volunteer experts from our community who are excited to teach you the skills to fix items and extend the life of your prized possessions.
