(Airdate: June 23, 2026) Maryanne interviews Mandi Johnson, who runs both JeffCo Repairs and the Tool Library under the umbrella of the Marine Science Center. The Repair events invite the community to bring in broken items, such as a toaster or a lamp. Volunteers attempt to repair the items for free. The tool library is built on the book library model. You come in and check out an item, such as a chainsaw, and keep it for one week. Both programs are an attempt to reduce the waste that ends up at the dump. It’s a great idea but there is one small difficulty. They have no money and without some funding these programs might have to end. Donations please!
