Join us at the Parker Williams Library Innovation Lab for our 3D Printer Orientation!
This orientation session will introduce participants to the 3D printing services we offer at the library. Those who complete the orientation will then be able to request supervised time to use a 3D printer at any HCPL branch that has one. Attending this orientation is mandatory before patrons can request time to use a 3D printer in the future.
This event is open to all ages. Children ages 12 and under must be accompanied by an adult guardian.
Teens and tweens are invited to come make a little house for a seasonal Peep duck or bunny! All supplies provided.

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.
