Texto de leitura

Every Saturday, the library in Mia’s neighbourhood becomes a repair café. People bring broken devices instead of throwing them in the bin. When Mia first visited, she carried an old
tableta small flat computer with a touch screentablet
with a dark screen.
The
tableta small flat computer with a touch screentablet
had been given to her by her grandfather several years earlier.
It held family photographs, but its
batterythe part that gives a device powerbateria
no longer worked.
Mia wanted the photographs back more than she wanted a new
tableta small flat computer with a touch screentablet
.
At the entrance, each
devicea piece of electronic equipmentaparelho eletrônico
was given a number and a short description.
A volunteer called Ben examined Mia’s
tableta small flat computer with a touch screentablet
and explained the problem.
The
tableta small flat computer with a touch screentablet
needed a new

, but the photographs were still stored safely inside.
Mia watched as the back of the

was opened with a small tool.

After twenty minutes, the screen lit up and her photographs appeared.
Ben showed Mia how to save copies of the photographs on another

.
He also showed her a short guide on the café’s website. The guide was written by volunteers and can be read for free. It gives simple advice about caring for batteries and protecting personal

Mia was surprised by the number of visitors and the variety of objects. One person brought a lamp; another arrived with a noisy radio.
Not every item could be repaired that morning, but every owner received advice. Some parts had to be ordered, and a few devices were too badly damaged. The volunteers did not promise a perfect result; they taught people about their devices. Before Mia left, she wrote a thank-you message on the café’s
noticeboarda board for public messagesquadro de avisos
.
She returned the following Saturday with her neighbour’s broken headphones. This time, she hoped to learn the steps of a repair, not just watch it.
