Repair
 Café Silicon Valley will be at Palo Alto City&nbsp;Library offering free repairs 
and repair advice. This community service organization is dedicated to 
encouraging the repair and reuse of goods. Repair Cafe will bring tools,
 materials, and volunteer experts to help you make any repairs you need 
on clothes, furniture, small appliances, bicycles, crockery, 
electronics, lamps, toys, and more. Their goal is to extend the life of 
everyday items.
For this session, the following repairs and maintenance will be offered: 
<ul><li>Small Electrical Appliances: Troubleshoot and fix basic household appliance problems such as frayed wires, corroded battery contacts, jammed printers.</li><li>Small Non-electrical Items: Troubleshoot and fix basic non-electrical items such as mechanical tools, jewelry clasps, loose screws, broken knobs.</li><li>Clothes Mending: Simple tasks such as sewing on loose buttons, ripped seams, and patching holes.</li></ul>
 This is&nbsp;a fun, welcoming event where neighbors share tools, 
skills, and ideas—all while keeping useful things out of the landfill. 
Bring your broken household items, electronics, small appliances, lamps,
 or whatever else you need help with, and we’ll try to fix them 
together. Visit <a target="_blank" href="https://url.usb.m.mimecastprotect.com/s/purFCp9DgYT9JPn6TDhkIGZ4Km?domain=repaircafesv.org" rel="nofollow noopener">repaircafesv.org</a> for more information.

Love the idea of a book club but don’t have time for a whole novel? Join our Short Story Social, a relaxed "book club" for short-story fans and busy readers.
We meet virtually on the fourth Thursday of each month to discuss one
 or two contemporary short stories (no more than 40 pages total). 
Participate from anywhere—jump in late or leave early if needed!
For
 July's meeting we are reading "Mall of America" by Bay Area 
writer&nbsp;Suzanne Wang. In this story, an OmniMall&nbsp;AI recounts its 
interactions with mall customer c_2542 and the connection they develop 
through customers overnight visits to the mall. This story is available 
through the library in&nbsp;<a href="https://paloalto.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S136C2186628" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">The Best American Short Stories 2024</a>&nbsp;or on the author's website here:&nbsp;<a href="https://suzannewang.com/mall-of-america" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">https://suzannewang.com/mall-of-americ</a>a
