STEP TOOL LENDING LIBRARY SCHEDULES A FIX IT CLINIC, October 4, 1:00 pm to 4:00 pm at the Community Library Sedona’s Community Room

Sedona, AZ — Sedona’s Tools Empowering People (STEP) is offering a fix-it clinic on Saturday, October 4, from 1:00 pm to 4:00 pm at the Community Library Sedona’s Community Room.  The clinic offers opportunities to repair cherished and still useful items that otherwise would be discarded. Small appliances can be repaired, computer glitches fixed, and knives sharpened.  Tools from the STEP inventory will be used and volunteers will help with simple repairs. Everyone is highly encouraged to sign up for a time slot at https://communitylibrarysedona.libcal.com/event/14844908?hs=a.

STEP is based on principles and practices of resource-use reduction, sharing, conviviality, solidarity, and mutual aid.  By providing a venue to share tools in the community, STEP contributes to a circular economy in Sedona.  The previous fix-it clinic diverted 265 pounds of material from the landfill.  Volunteers are welcome to join the STEP team and the global movement to reduce waste and put underused tools to work.

STEP is sponsored by Northern Arizona Climate Change Alliance (NAZCCA) and the Sedona Public Library and is a recipient of grant funding from the City of Sedona Small Grants Program. For more information visit https://www.nazcca.org/tool-library or contact step.tool.library@gmail.com.
