Destress and unwind as we express our inner artist! Materials will be provided. If you want to bring your own materials to color with or have another project you want to work on, that works too. This program is for adults 18+. Snacks provided.
Do you love to read but don’t have the time to do it? Do you have a pile of books on the nightstand needing to be read? Do you want a quiet space away from all of the noise? Then this program is for you! Join us for some quiet reading time while you sip or munch on refreshments provided by the library.
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.

Have you ever wanted to join a book club but they never pick the books you want to read? Have you thought, man, I just really don't want to talk to people but the camaraderie of being in a book club sounds great? Then look no further!

There will be some light background noise of waves or other soothing sounds, and lower lighting (but not too light, we don't want to hurt our eyes!), and the rest is up to you.
Must be 18 years or older to participate. No registration required.
Have you ever wanted to have your own spellbook? Well there is no better time to make one than Halloween! Join us to decorate and keep your own book of shadows!
