Book Buddies is a free program that brings children and teen volunteers together to share the joy of reading. It pairs trained volunteers (Big Buddies) with children in Kindergarten through 3rd grades (Little Buddies). For 10 weeks, the Buddies meet once a week in the afternoon for 45 minutes of one-on-one shared reading.

The Spring cycle of Book Buddies will run from February19th to April 30th.  Reading sessions will be in the library meeting room.

Join us for our 3D Printer Orientation!

This orientation session will instruct participants on using the 3D printer 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. Attendees will receive the 3D printer and Dremel 3D45 badges in Beanstack upon completion of orientation.

Choosing a university is a big decision. This presentation helps students compare colleges and universities by exploring factors like academics, cost, campus life, location, and support services. Learn how to research schools, ask the right questions, and choose a university that fits your goals, needs, and future plans.
