FIX IT CLINIC The Berkeley Public Library is hosting a free Fix It Clinic on Saturday March 3, 1-4 p.m., at the Tarea Hall Pittman South Branch (where the Tool Lending Library’s staff will be assisting). Bring in your broken furniture, appliances, tools, toys, clothes, and other household items and repair them using provided materials and with the help of community experts. The ultimate objective is to grow a culture of repair (rather than one of disposal) and build a community of fixers, said the library’s Jack Baur. The Fix-It Clinics were developed with artist Vita Wells, Culture of Repair, the Berkeley Ecology Center and the City’s Zero Waste Division, with donations from Ace Hardware. Another Fix It Clinic is scheduled for March 24 at the North Branch. Registering for the clinic is recommended. Tarea Hall Pittman South Branch is at 1901 Russell Street (at MLK). Details at BPL.
