Join us for our Cricut orientation!
This orientation session will instruct participants on using the Cricut in the library. Those completing the class will then be able to schedule time to use a Cricut 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 Cricut. Attendees will receive the Cricut and Cricut Explore Air 2 badges in Beanstack upon completion of orientation.
Join us as the Friends of the Maud Marks Library hold their next used book sale. There is a large selection of hardback fiction and nonfiction, as well as children’s books and paperbacks. All items sell for rock bottom prices!

Interviews can be nerve-wracking — but they don’t have to be. Join us for a lively and practical presentation on how to walk into any interview with confidence, clarity, and maybe even a little swagger.
We’ll cover:
How to answer the really tough questions (yes, even “Tell me about yourself”)
What to say, what to wear, and what not to do
How to stand out without sounding rehearsed
Tips for virtual interviews, panel interviews, and everything in between
