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.
Are you interested in volunteering at the library? Join us for our volunteer orientation. You can pick up an volunteer application from the front desk of the library. Volunteers under the age of 18 will need a parent/guardian to fill out the application for volunteering.
New Big Buddies are invited to attend a training session on September 4th from 4:30 PM to 6:00 PM at the North Channel Branch of the public library.

Returning Big Buddies are not required to attend. Sign up at the front desk!
Switch 2 Play is a weekly Thursday event at 4:00 PM in the library, where people of all ages can relax and connect through popular games like Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, Mario Kart World, Just Dance, Street Fighter VI, and more! All necessary equipment—including the console, controllers, and seating—is provided for a fun and easygoing gaming experience, though feel free to bring your own controllers if you prefer!
Your GPA and test scores say a lot — but your college essay is where you get to speak. Not sure where to start? Join us for a presentation that takes the mystery (and misery) out of writing your personal statement.
We’ll cover:
What colleges are really looking for in your essay
How to pick the right topic (hint: it’s not always your biggest accomplishment)
Writing tips to help your story shine
Common pitfalls and how to avoid sounding like everyone else
