WNC Repair Cafe will host a repair event on the evening of Tuesday October 11 at the NEW Asheville Tool Library location at Smith Mill works in Asheville. This is an especially exciting collaboration that we hope to nurture for many future events - Suffice to say we are very grateful we have made this connection!
WNC Repair Cafe co-founder and experienced toaster-oven repairman Christian Nolan is also a longtime volunteer with the Asheville Tool Library
"The Asheville Tool Library is a volunteer-powered, membership-based nonprofit that shares its tools and resources and offers educational opportunities to the Community of Western North Carolina."
The Asheville Tool Library has been operating for several years in the south slope area of downtown Asheville. Here, they've prospered with many dedicated volunteers and a thriving community of members. They've also outgrown their space. At the end of September, ATL is moving to Smith Mill works, an sustainable agribusiness entrepreneurship hub in west-west Asheville, located at 80 Cowan Cove Rd. With the move comes a larger space to house tools, along with ample parking and a dedicated workshop area - all of the amenities necessary to support a thriving repair cafe.
We're very excited to join ATL here in this new space on October 11, 2022, from 5:00 to 8:00 PM. Check out the Events page for updates and please, read the House Rules.
