Tweens

Haunted homeschoolers, join us in the Grand Chamber for a morning of spine-tingling creativity and monstrous masterpieces at Crafts from the Crypt!

Every week this October at 11:00 AM, creative ghouls and goblins ages 5–10 will gather at the library to resurrect ordinary craft supplies into spectacularly spooky art. From friendly phantoms to creepy-crawly keepsakes, each session will be horridly fun and hands-on for growing monsters--we mean makers. Parents, don't fear—the mess stays with us in the crypt.

Join us for our 3D Printer Orientation!

This orientation session will instruct participants on using the 3D printer 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. Attendees will receive the 3D printer and Dremel 3D45 badges in Beanstack upon completion of orientation.

For high school and middle school students only. Meet in the computer lab for crafts, movies, & games.

Rumor has it there’s a secret treasure hidden in the librarian’s office. 

Can you find the treasure and escape before the librarian returns to catch you in the act?

Hey Family Movie Night Friends! This month's movie, The Pagemaster (1994), takes us to a magical library where the books come to life to tell their stories! In honor of the Gulf Coast Reads Annual Reading Initiative book, the Librarians by Sherry Thomas.

Movie synopsis: A cowardly boy, Richard Tyler (Macaulay Culkin), enters a library to escape a storm, only to be transformed into an animated illustration by the Pagemaster. He has to work through obstacles from classic books to return to real-life.
