Podcast cover for Episode #8 of "Future Knowledge" titled "The Library: A Fragile History." The design features portraits of the three guests—Abby Smith Rumsey, Andrew Pettegree, and Arthur der Weduwen—arranged in a grid. Surrounding them are collage-style retro-futuristic elements including a classical statue head, a vintage computer with the word "NEW" on its screen, a modernist observation tower, and abstract architectural shapes. The title uses bold, blocky typography, giving the cover a vintage sci-fi aesthetic.

The local library is doing the Repair Cafe!!! This is an initial event. Im hoping we can do something like this monthly once we get it going!!!

Repair Cafes are community events where people bring things to get fixed and maintained for free. Volunteers come to hang out, talk shop, and work on folks' items.

This is a mutual-aid event - So folks might be good at fixing bicycles but arent as good at mending jeans. So they might bring their jeans to get patched and then help tune a bicycle!

While my library has asked if I can help with desktop support (which I'm more than willing to do), I actually really like working on bicycles! So I let them know I could do that, too.

I'm at my bandwidth with creating and organizing things with the Free Fridges and Food Rescue, but I absolutely can join an volunteer on the days of if all I have to do is show up, hang out, and tinker on some repairs!

THIS IS SO EXCITING!!!

Email that states: Hi Once again I have to thank you for sharing amazing ideas with me - thank you! I've been able to partner with the R Board to host our first Repair Cafe, which will be on Thursday, February 12 from 1:30-3:30. They will be supplying folks who can do small machine repairs, like toaster ovens or Instant Pots, and people to repair clothing (tailors/ sewers). Would you be interested in volunteering for the event? I'd love to have someone who could help with software and computer help. l've reached out to IdeaSpace to ask about physically repairing computers, like rebuilding them but I thought software help might be really handy too. Looking forward to hearing from you, -- Thank you, Assistant Branch Manager/ Adult Services Department Head (she/her) Fredericksburg Branch

Indirect but I do love it when capitalists that hate public infrastructure realize that their capital depends on public infrastructure as well.
