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.

We all know the question. We all dread the question.

The “So, Tell Me About Yourself” workshop is a fast-paced, speed-style mock interview experience where participants practice answering the most common (and most intimidating) interview questions in a low-pressure, supportive environment. Attendees will rotate through short, one-on-one mock interviews designed to improve clarity, confidence, and how they present their story.
