For the month of October, we will combine our toddler story time with our Family Place Parent Child Workshop! Each week we will introduce an early childhood topic with a story and fingerplay. A community expert in each topic will be on hand for one-on-one time with parents while the children will have extra toys and playtime. Topics include: Early Literacy, Nutrition, Developmental Milestones, Speech and Language Development, and Movement. Check with the Crosby Library for the schedule and list of community experts.

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! Join us for chill vibes, non-messy snacks, and a whole uninterrupted hour of reading! 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.

Get ready to sing, bounce, play and bond with baby during this interactive baby time. This program is perfect for non-walkers. Space is limited. Tickets available 15 minutes before the program at the information desk.

Events and programs are presented in-person only, unless otherwise noted. Please check the event/program location carefully.

Tickets will not be available 10 minutes after any program has started.

The age-appropriate child must be present to get a ticket for any ticketed program. Age range and ticket limits apply for each program.

To register for the class, you must take an in-person placement exam.

Nurture your strength and mental health with Tai Chi at Parker Williams Library! 

Often described as 'meditation in motion', Tai Chi is a low-impact, slow-motion exercise that helps to strengthen your muscles and relax your mind. 

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.
