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.

Book Buddies is a FREE literacy program that brings child and teens together to share the joy of reading. It pairs trained teen volunteers (Big Buddies) with children in K-3rd grades (Little Buddies).

Each Wednesday for 10 weeks, Big Buddies and Little Buddies will meet to read together and create positive experiences surrounding literacy. By the end of the session, we aspire that all Little Buddies will learn to love to read and form positive associations with reading.
