Join us at the Parker Williams Library Innovation Lab for our Sublimation + Cricut Orientation!
This orientation session will introduce participants to the Sublimation + Cricut services we offer at the library. Those who complete the orientation will then be able to request supervised time to use a Sublimation Printer or Cricut at any HCPL branch that has one. Attending this orientation is mandatory before patrons can request time to use the equipment in the future.
Book Buddies is a free program that brings children and teen volunteers together to share the joy of reading. It pairs trained volunteers (Big Buddies) with children in Kindergarten through 3rd grades (Little Buddies). For 10 weeks, the Buddies meet once a week in the afternoon for 45 minutes of one-on-one shared reading.
The Fall cycle of Book Buddies will run from September 18th to November 20th. Reading sessions will be in the library meeting room.
Get ready to design a look that’s spooky, silly, or downright adorable! In this one-time workshop, kids will use fabric, cardboard, foam, craft supplies, and their imagination to create their own creepy-cute costumes. Whether it’s a funny monster, a magical creature, or a sweet-but-spooky disguise, patrons will leave with a unique creation to show off! (Patrons are welcome to bring a costume from home to embellish or repair, or they can build something brand-new with the materials provided.)
