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.
Do you knit/crochet/craft? Please join us for our weekly meeting of the Knotty and Nice Club. We meet for 2 hours and socialize while working on our own projects or community charity projects. Please note that this is not a class but people are always available to help you if you need a LITTLE help. If you have never knitted or crocheted, the library offers many books and a few DVDs to learn. You can find many helpful videos on YouTube as well.

Your resume tells employers what you’ve done—your cover letter tells them who you are. Join us for a lively Cover Letter Presentation where we’ll spill the secrets to grabbing attention, showing personality, and making hiring managers say, ‘We need to meet this person!’ Whether you’re applying for your first job or your dream job, you’ll leave inspired and ready to put pen to paper (or fingers to keyboard).
Join us at the Highlands Stratford Library for an engaging book discussion every third Monday of the month. We love reading genres like romance or historical fiction.
Copies of the Ideal Book Club book will be available at the branch.
Interviews can be nerve-wracking — but they don’t have to be. Join us for a lively and practical presentation on how to walk into any interview with confidence, clarity, and maybe even a little swagger.
