SUMMARY:AFK Repair Café: We Love Lamp
DESCRIPTION:Join fixers from the Charlottesville TimeBank Repair Café for 
 an introductory repair café right here at the UVA Library\, in the 
 Scholars' Lab!\n\nWhat is a repair café\, you ask? Repair cafés are 
 collaborative events to fix your stuff\, saving them from the landfill and 
 practicing creative re-use. They're also part of a global movement to build 
 a more sustainable future by making it easier for anyone to repair 
 anything! More information here: repaircafe.org/en.\n\nThis repair café 
 will focus on introductory electrical repair via an appliance that everyone 
 uses\, needs\, and occasionally breaks: lamps and lights. If you have a 
 non-lamp small appliance that you would like to bring and fix\, you can! 
 Indicate that on the registration form. Volunteers from the Charlottesville 
 TimeBank Repair Café will walk you through safety guidance\, the 
 troubleshooting process\, and a variety of repairs. You can sign up to 
 bring your own lamp if you have one that needs fixing\, or you can sign up 
 to observe (there may be bonus fixable lamps on hand for you to experiment 
 with). You can sign up for one of three hourly time slots during the 
 event\, or come and watch the whole time.\n\nThis event is open to all. 
 There will be snacks provided. Free parking is available after 5pm in 
 Culbreth Parking Garage.\n\nThis event is generously supported by the UVA 
 Arts Council. It is one of a series of repair café events that will be 
 held this academic year\, as part of the Library's 2026-2027 arts 
 initiative\, AFK: Away From Keyboard\, which urges students\, the UVA 
 community\, and Charlottesville to experiment with creating intentional 
 connections between body and mind. We want to know: what happens to the way 
 we perceive\, learn\, make\, and research when we're AFK? How does using 
 our hands to tinker\, create\, and repair deepen and expand research? Less 
 blue light\; more insight.
