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.

Join us Thursday morning for a chair yoga practice for all levels. During this class, we will practice gentle movement and accessible meditation techniques that will create more strength, ease, and balance in the body and mind. The class will be tailored to the ability levels of those who attend. No prior experience is necessary!

Gather clippings from our community gardens and then create stunning cyanotype prints using the sun! This UV reactive paper uses sunlight, water, and everyday objects to create blue and white images. Feel free to bring your own leaves and flowers from your garden at home.
