Looking for fun things to do during spring break? Come spend the afternoon at the library! There will crafts (while supplies last), snacks, and fun music to listen to while you enjoy your week off. This program is for adults and teens.
Teens
Learn about 3D printing, including how 3D printers work, and how to create your own custom designs. Participants will earn a badge and be able to reserve future appointments to use a 3D printer at HCPL branches.
Have you ever wanted to learn a new skill?
This program is for grades 6-12 only.
Cursive writing is more than just penmanship. It is an integrated skill that enhances cognitive development, motor skills, and literacy. The seamless, flowing motion used to form cursive letters stimulates brain synapses and the synchronization of the hands and eyes, unlike the disjointed taps of a keyboard. Studies suggest that the practice of cursive writing activates areas of the brain involved in thinking, language, and working memory.
Take a break from homework and studying and hang out in the teen space with puzzles, board games, and snacks! This program is open to ages 12-17, 18 if in high school.
Join us in the teen space and make your own buttons with our button maker! Use one of our designs or make your own! All supplies are provided.
Open to ages 12-17, 18 if in high school. Email virginia.gonzalez@hcpl.net for any questions.
