Do you have broken household items that you were planning to throw away? Instead, bring it to Fix It Fun! Fix It Fun, a free community repair event, will take place on Saturday, November 9, 2024 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Bennington Free Library, 101 Silver Street, Bennington. Bring a clean broken household item and one of our fixers will do their best to help repair it for free.

Fix It Fun is the second annual event co-sponsored by the Bennington County Solid Waste Alliance and the Bennington Free Library. Community repair events reduce the amount of waste sent to the landfill by promoting repair and reuse. Instead of throwing items away, we can appreciate the value in our possessions by reusing them, which saves money and resources, and contributes to a more sustainable society.

Volunteer fixers are needed to fix household items that community members bring for repair. All kinds of fixers are welcome, including clothing and fabric, small appliances, small furniture, toys, electrical items, jewelry, and more! To learn more and complete the volunteer packet, visit benningtonfreelibrary.org, call the library: 802-442-9051 or email reference@bfli.org by November 1st.

This project is made possible by a grant from the Association for Rural & Small Libraries through the generosity of the Manton Foundation.
