All materials provided. Ages 15+ are welcome.

Each month builders work to complete an a build that may be silly, challenging, or sneaky, but always fun!  Grades 4th -12th.  Due to early voting this event will take place in the public section of the library (instead of the meeting room).

Join us for our Cricut orientation!

This orientation session will instruct participants on using the Cricut in the library. Those completing the class will then be able to schedule time to use a Cricut 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 Cricut. Attendees will receive the Cricut and Cricut Explore Air 2 badges in Beanstack upon completion of orientation.
