Toss it? No way! Join the Green Bexley Repair Cafe and give your stuff a second life! Got a broken toaster, a wobbly chair, or a favorite sweater with a hole? Don’t throw it out—bring it to our Spring Repair Cafe at the library! The Repair Cafe is a free neighborhood meeting place where you can fix your items with the help of skilled volunteer "repair coaches".
How it Works:
Bring Your Items: We’ll have stations for clothing/textiles, small electrical appliances, jewelry, wooden furniture, and even knife sharpening.
Collaborative Repair: You’ll stay with your item and work alongside a volunteer fixer to learn how it works and how to maintain it for the future.
Community Connection: While you wait, enjoy a cup of coffee and connect with your neighbors.
What to Know:
Cost: The service is entirely free, though you may need to purchase any specific spare parts required for the fix.
Limitations: We typically cannot repair smartphones, computers, or gas-powered engines.
Contact: For questions or to volunteer as a repair coach, please contact Rhys Gruebel (gruebel23@gmail.com) or Lisa Goldsand (lisagoldsand@gmail.com).

Bexley Public Library was founded in 1924 and first housed in Bexley High School, now Montrose Elementary School. The present building opened in 1929 and was designed by architects O.C. Miller and R.R. Reeves who drew upon French and Italian architecture from the 17th century for the design.
The library is located at 2411 East Main Street, at the intersection of East Main Street and Cassady Avenue. Parking is available in our parking lot on Euclaire Avenue and in front of the library on Main Street. Main Street is a No Parking Tow Zone from 4:00-6:00 p.m. weekdays.
