Hang out, have a chat and enjoy a fresh-baked snack and a tea or a cup of freshly brewed coffee from Kokako Organic Coffee. Koha is welcome for refreshments and for our lovely volunteers.
Once or twice a month we also offer home electrical appliance repairs, when our electrician is with us. Watch the ALoT Facebook page or the Repair & Share event discussion for announcements!
