JOIN US FOR THE DSCL REPAIR FAIR - VOLUNTEERS NEEDED!
Do you have a talent for fixing things? Whether it's clothing, small electronics, furniture, jewelry, bikes, or something else entirely, we need your skills! The Dripping Springs Community Library Repair Fair is all about sustainability—helping our community repair and reuse instead of tossing things away. Join us on Monday, March 17, from 2-6 PM (commit to at least two hours) to share your expertise and keep treasured items out of the landfill. If you or someone you know would like to volunteer, please email us by March 10 at 8 PM. Let's fix things together!
