“We return to the Hercules Public Library on Saturday December 6 for a holiday-themed Fixit Clinic, we’ll have another the following Saturday at the Albany Community Center. Hope to see you there!

Fix your broken stuff – Or at least learn more about it disassembling it.

Fixing as Giving: In the spirit of the holidays, The Fixit Clinic Elves will be on hand to spread holiday cheer helping you fix that special item for a loved one (that includes you!)

So bring your broken, non-functioning things – electronics, appliances, computers, toys, etc. – for assessment, disassembly, and possible repair.

We’ll provide workspace, specialty tools, and guidance to help you disassemble and troubleshoot your item. Whether we fix it or not, you’ll learn more about how it was manufactured and how it worked. This is a family-friendly event: children are heartily invited!

Bring:

Your broken or non-working thing (carry-in only: no oversize items)

Accessories and tools you already own that might be helpful (e.g. phillips head screwdriver)

Any knowledge or advance research you’ve done on the issue

Boxes, bags and/or small containers to organize (and carry away) parts.”
