Barbara Bush Branch Library

We're back at it here at the Barbara Bush Branch Library! Join us for our fourth Pumpkin Patch Kids Contest. Show off your favorite spooky (or not so spooky) book characters, gourd style.

Registration is required. One entry per family, please. Multiple pumpkins of varying sizes can be combined into one entry as long as their combined size is no larger than a basketball. Three prizes will be awarded: "Sour Patch (silliest)", "Crowd Favorite", and "The Great Pumpkin".

Love to journal? 

Come and meet with like minded individuals who love to write and share the things that they have written down, based on the prompts that have been given.

This introductory course is designed for individuals who are new to computers or have limited experience with technology. The course will cover essential computer skills, including understanding hardware components, operating systems, file management, and basic software applications. Students will learn to navigate the internet, use email, and protect their privacy and security online. Practical lessons will guide learners through the use of popular productivity tools, such as word processing, spreadsheets, and presentations.

Join us on Fridays at 1PM to craft and chat. We focus on knitting and crochet and make items to donate to local charities. 

We are happy to help old and new crafters with their projects, but this is not a formal class. 

Please bring your own supplies. 

Program Analysts from Precinct 3 will participate in the upcoming First Responder’s Day community event. At their table, they will provide ELQN literature and administer the mid-point survey, while also offering children’s books and themed coloring pages as incentives for families who stop by.

**18 and Up Only**

Get into the Fall spirit by creating your very own paper lantern with materials cut from our Cricut Explore Air 2!

**Please note that due to limited supplies, each patron will get to make (1) item.

Join us for our 3D Printer Orientation!

This orientation session will introduce participants to 3D printing services in the library. Those who complete the class will then be able to request time to use a 3D printer at HCPL branches, at which time they will complete a short machine-specific orientation at the location of their choice. Attending this orientation is mandatory before patrons can request time to use a 3D printer.

This event is open to all ages. Children ages 12 and under must be accompanied by an adult guardian.
