Hi, Energy, Health & Human Services, and Water Action Teams,

Our sister organization, Lake Oswego Sustainability Network, has articles in their May newsletter about the home and school resilience tour they organized last month. Please scroll down below (past the repair fair article) to read about the featured homes.

Do you think we might be able to pull off something similar?

Repair Fair: Get Your Broken Items Fixed

When: Saturday, May 16, 2026 | 10 am - 1 pm

Where: Adult Community Center, 505 G Ave., Lake Oswego

A great way to reduce items thrown in the landfill is to repair them - and our Repair Fair offers the opportunity to see if your items can be repaired.

Experienced fixers will attempt to repair or mend your items and may teach you how to fix them yourself. There are no guarantees for a repair. Some items are more difficult to repair, can take longer than we have time for at the event, or even break more during a repair attempt. Fixers can diagnose an issue and offer their best, unbiased advice. Our repair rate is over 75 percent!

Examples of possible repair include clothing, textiles, small electronics and small home appliances. Only bring items small enough to be easily carried by one person, and do not bring any items that are leaking, dangerous, dirty or have a strong odor. We do not do clothing alternations. All clothing must be clean.

One broken item per person will be examined at a time. After each item is examined/repaired, you may register another item.

After the Big Earthquake: Is Your Home Ready?

In the novel Tilt, by Emma Pattee, a massive Cascadia earthquake reshapes the Pacific Northwest in an instant. Roads fracture. Power fails. Families are left to navigate a new reality. What would that look like here in Lake Oswego?

As part of the Lake Oswego Public Library 2026 LO Reads program, LOSN shared what resilience looked like through our home and school tour on April 25.
