September 2024 Fix-It Clinic
September 14 @ 12:00 pm - 2:00 pm
What’s a Fix-It Clinic?
Is there a fallen hem in your favorite shirt? Did your blender stop working? Is your child’s toy a little worse for the wear? Bring these items and more to a local Fix-It Clinic to learn how to fix your broken items from skilled volunteer coaches — for free!
While we can’t guarantee your item will be fixed, coaches will guide you through how the item works and what you may need for repair. Attendees are expected to actively participate and stay with their items during the repair process.
Can’t make it to the clinic?
Drop off your broken item at the Cepeda Branch Library (651 N Pleasant Valley Rd), September 6-12, and our volunteers will try to fix it for you. Then you can pick it up from the Cepeda Branch, September 16-21. We cannot guarantee that your item will be fixed, and items not picked up by closing time on September 21 will be donated. This program is first-come, first-served, and there are a limited number of drop-off slots available. A signed waiver is required to participate. No bikes or oversized items.
If you plan to drop off an item, you do not need to reserve a ticket on EventBrite.
What should I bring?
Your broken item(s) and a desire to improve your repair skills! You may bring up to two items. Sewing machines and other tools will be available for you to use, but you can also bring your own machines and tools if you prefer. Please bring any replacement part, missing button, fabric patch, matching thread or other material you might need to help you fix your item.
At this Fix-It Clinic, you can learn how to fix almost anything! Including:
- Clothing
- Jewelry
- Accessories
- Toys
- Small Appliances
- Electronics
- Bikes
Who can attend?
All ages are welcome, but children under the age of 13 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. Fix-It Clinics are a great learning opportunity for children ages 7 and up!
How do I sign up?
Click here to reserve up to two tickets based on your broken item and arrival time. One ticket = one item. If you plan on bringing two items, your tickets must be in different time blocks, for example one ticket from 11 a.m. to noon and a second from noon to 1 p.m.
