Have an item that needs fixing? Bring it to the next Fix-It Clinic on May 18 at the Carver Branch Library! Coaches will help you fix broken electronics, household appliances, clothing, bikes, jewelry and more. These clinics are a great way to learn and have an item fixed at the same time. Get your free ticket before they’re gone.
Can’t make it? Take advantage of our drop-off option! Drop off your broken item at the Carver Branch Library, May 10-16, and our volunteers will try to fix it for you. Pick-up will be held May 20-25.
