CVSan offers Free Repair Workshop at Castro Valley Library

CVSan is presenting its second of two Castro Valley Fixit Clinics for 2017 at the Castro Valley Library (3600 Norbridge Avenue) on Saturday, June 17th, from 1:00 to 4:00 p.m. CVSan’s January 21st event was well-attended.

The public is invited to bring broken, non-functioning electronics, small appliances, computers, toys, bicycles, clothing, etc. for assessment, disassembly, and possible repair. Bring items for mending; a public sewing machine will be available for textile repairs too. Fixit Clinic Coaches will be on hand to guide participants through the repair process. Please note that Fixit Clinics are designed to provide a place for participants to learn how to fix items themselves, not to hand over the item for someone else to fix.

A workspace, specialty tools, and guidance will be provided. Whether items are fixed or not, attendees will learn more about how the item was manufactured and how it worked. Children must be monitored by a parent/adult at all times.

Priority is given to participants who sign-up online by visiting www.fixitclinic.org and selecting the Castro Valley event.
