So, I'm really digging the idea of having a #ToolLibrary that accepts #TimeBasedCurrency instead of dollars! Wow! I used to be part of the #PortlandME #TimeDollarNetwork (which is still around), and one could even use #TimeDollars to rent #CommunitySpace for events! Having more #TimeBanks is one way to wean ourselves off of #petrodollars and #technodollars!

#NewburyportMA: They can fix it: Annual spring #RepairCafe returning soon
By Jim Sullivan | Mar 20, 2025
NEWBURYPORT — "Folks hoping to get their bicycles fixed, their garden tools sharpened or even their house lamps mended should visit the Newburyport Senior/Community Center on Saturday, April 5, for the Time Trade Network of Greater Newburyport’s annual spring Repair Café.
"Taking place between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m., the free event features over 30 local volunteers adept at tinkering with small appliances, textiles, jewelry, bikes, small wooden items and even mechanical clocks.
"Knife sharpening, as well as garden hand tool sharpening along with some expert advice on chair caning will also be offered.
"'We want to encourage people to have their items repaired instead of putting them into the waste stream,' event organizer Elizabeth Marcus said. 'They can also get to see just how easy and fun it can sometimes be.'
"The #TimeTradeNetwork of Greater Newburyport is a group of local volunteers willing and eager to share their knowledge as well as talents with one another.
At the Repair Café, people can bring up to three small, clean items then watch while each is repaired on the spot."

So, years ago, when I lived in #PortlandMaine, I was part of a #TimeBank, where I offered computing and web assistance to others, in exchange for rides, mending, artwork and sometimes food (the local food co-op was part of the Time Bank). It was a good system and a way to connect with community and provide #MutualAid and share skills!
TimeBanking 101
"Time banking replaces money. Provide an hour of service to your neighbor and earn one time dollar. A TimeBank is a network of members that have agreed they will provide and receive services from each other, albeit not directly. (This is not Barter.) Nothing is given 'in consideration of' and there are no binding contracts. Members have a moral obligation of reciprocity to the community.
Five Core Values:
- Human Value: We recognize the intrinsic value of every human being regardless of race, creed, color, or station in life.
- Human Equality: We honor the presence of every living spirit on this planet and consider that we are all equally sacred.
- Human Partnership: We believe that when we work together to meet each others needs, every human being will be cared for.
- Human Effort: We honor the contribution of every human being equally, regardless of how slight or grand it may be.
- Human Reward: We each apply ourselves to what we love. As members of the human family we are entitled to share in the proceeds of our collective activity."Lear more:
