Join us at the Parker Williams Library Innovation Lab for our Cricut-Sublimation Orientation!

This orientation session will introduce participants to the Cricut-Sublimation services we offer at the library. Those who complete the orientation will then be able to request supervised time to use a Cricut machine and Sublimation printer at any participating HCPL branch. Attending this orientation is mandatory before patrons can request time to use a Cricut machine and/or Sublimation printer in the future.
