Bring your broken stuff to Northwest Library’s Repair Party
“Planet People Project” explores sustainability, building resilient communities and ecosystems will host a Repair Party on
Aug 12 ~ Salons with Carol Flinders
The event is part of the “Right to Repair” movement. Many believe that when you purchase a product, you should be able to repair it yourself or have a third party repair shop fix it for an affordable rate. The “Right to Repair” movement advocates for legislation that discourages companies from creating obstacles for their customers who want to extend the life of their belongings. Also part of the movement is a growing number of enthusiasts who volunteer their time fixing stuff at events such as “Repair Cafes” and “Fixit Clinics.” Northwest Library is inviting members of the community to volunteer at The August 31 repair event.

August 31 from 2 to 5 p.m. at 150 Coddingtown Center in Santa Rosa.
Participants are invited to bring bikes and electronic devices to be repaired, clothing to be mended, and small appliances to be fixed. The idea is to keep reusable items out of the landfill, build community and empower everyday folks to help each other fix things.

• Greeters (greet, orient, event support)
• Interpreters (for Spanish-speaking participants)
• IFIXIT Troubleshooter (Layperson, uses the ifixit.com site. Tools provided)
Important information for attendees of the Repair Party:
