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.
Need a quiet place to read or get through your homework? Drop into Focus Mode at the library, an after-school sanctuary with calm vibes, cozy seating, and relaxing lo-fi beats.
