旧金山免费维修活动11月7日走进图书馆 补衣调车全免费
加利福尼亚州旧金山市消息，旧金山湾区华人社区熟悉的免费维修活动本周六继续举行。旧金山环境局联合旧金山公共图书馆，在各分馆轮流举办衣物与自行车免费维修活动，11月7日周六下午3点至5点，衣物维修专场在公园分馆举行，地址为Page街1833号；自行车维修专场在北滩分馆举行，时间为上午11点至下午1点，地址为Columbus大道850号。活动全程免费，专业志愿者现场手把手教居民维修技巧，坏掉的小物件、撕破的衣服都可以带到现场修理，主打省钱、少扔垃圾、自己动手。
据介绍，旧金山近期正掀起一股维修咖啡馆热潮，居民把家里坏掉的小物件直接带到现场，由志愿者带着一起修。自行车维修目前不提供整轮更换服务。除了图书馆的轮流活动外，Haight-NOPA维修咖啡馆定于12月13日周六下午1点半至4点在公园分馆举行，Mission维修咖啡馆定于明年1月31日下午2点至4点半举行，具体地点尚未公布。
这项活动对华人家庭尤其实用，不少华人居民家中都有需要小修小补的衣物和自行车。主办方提醒，活动名额与维修项目以现场安排为准，有需要的居民可提前到达。此类免费社区服务也体现了旧金山推动垃圾减量与循环利用的努力，让居民在动手维修中延长物品使用寿命，减少浪费。
San Francisco's Free Repair Events Come to the Library Nov. 7: Clothing and Bike Fixes at No Charge
SAN FRANCISCO, California — The free repair events familiar to San Francisco's Chinese community continue this Saturday. The San Francisco Environment Department and the San Francisco Public Library rotate free clothing and bicycle repair sessions among branch libraries: on Saturday, November 7, the clothing repair session runs 3 to 5 p.m. at the Park Branch, 1833 Page Street, and the bicycle repair session runs 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the North Beach Branch, 850 Columbus Avenue. Everything is free, with skilled volunteers teaching repair techniques on the spot; bring broken small items and torn clothes to fix together — the idea is saving money, throwing less away and doing it yourself.
Organizers say San Francisco is in the middle of a repair café wave, with residents bringing household items to fix alongside volunteers. Bicycle repair does not currently include full wheel replacement. Beyond the library rotation, the Haight-NOPA Repair Café is set for Saturday, December 13, 1:30 to 4 p.m. at the Park Branch, and the Mission Repair Café for January 31, 2 to 4:30 p.m., at a venue to be announced.
The events are especially handy for Chinese families, many of whom have clothes and bikes needing small fixes. Organizers note that capacity and repair offerings depend on on-site arrangements, and advise arriving early. The free community service reflects San Francisco's push on waste reduction and reuse, extending the life of everyday items through hands-on repair.
