STOUGHTON — The Stoughton Public Library is bringing back its Fix-It Clinic, inviting residents to bring in broken gadgets, jewelry, clothing and other household items for free repair help, according to a report circulated Tuesday.

COMMUNITY & ARTS

The Stoughton Public Library is co-hosting a second Fix-It Clinic, giving residents a chance to bring in gadgets, jewelry, clothing and other items in need of repair rather than tossing them out, per a report from Stoughton contributor Dianna Carney. The event continues a sustainability-minded programming push at the library and follows an earlier clinic that drew local interest ("Stoughton's Fix-It Clinic Returns: Bring Your Gadgets, Jewelry, Clothes, & More!" reports via Google Alerts) (read it at https://www.newsbreak.com/dianna-carney-1587871/4808419291751-stoughton-s-fix-it-clinic-returns-bring-your-gadgets-jewelry-clothes-more).
