Newark Library Fixit Clinics tend to be popular, in part because they have in-house sewing machines. Librarian Barbara Telford-Ishida has long supported our efforts to hold Fixit Clinics through the Alameda County Libraries and is the de facto tool steward for the inter-library toolset: it’d be great to get lots of Fixit Coaches at the Newark Library to support her efforts.

Sign up to Fixit Coach at http://goo.gl/xS1MRK. And if you know anyone who’d make a good Fixit Coach: bring ‘em along!

Hope you can make it. -Peter

Fixit Clinic CCLXXXVII (287) 2018-05-19 Newark Library

Celebrating repair by conveying basic troubleshooting skills, Fixit Clinics are do-it-together hands-on fix-n-learn community-based exploration and discovery workshops staffed by volunteer Fixit Coaches who generously share their time, tools and expertise to consult with you on the disassembly, troubleshooting, and repair of items.

So bring your broken, non-functioning things -- electronic gadgets, appliances, computers, toys, sewing machines, bicycles, fabric items, etc.-- for assessment, disassembly, and possible repair. We'll provide workspace, specialty tools, and guidance to help you disassemble and troubleshoot your item. Whether you fix it or not, you'll learn more about how it was manufactured and how it worked, ready to share your new-found confidence and insight with your friends, neighbors, and the community at large. (Hopefully you’ll be inspired to become a Fixit Coach yourself.)

- First-time Fixit Coaches and fixing families are always welcome; sign up at http://goo.gl/kwVNlv
- Even if you can’t make it: report your broken item at http://goo.gl/YoD4Pk
