Parker Williams Branch Library

Join us at the Parker Williams Library Innovation Lab for our Laser Cutter Orientation!

This orientation session will introduce participants to the laser-cutting services we offer at the library. Those who complete the orientation will then be able to request supervised time to use a laser cutter at any HCPL branch that has one. Attending this orientation is mandatory before patrons can request time to use a laser cutter in the future.

This event is open to all ages. Children ages 12 and under must be accompanied by an adult guardian.

Join us for Movie Time Club at the Parker Williams Branch Library.

This time we will watch Home Alone (1990, rated PG).

Movie Summary: A mischievous 8-year-old who's picked on by his older siblings and ignored by his parents would really rather be left alone—and that's exactly what happens when he gets accidentally left behind in a frenzied rush to the airport for a family vacation in Paris over the holiday season. After learning to fend for himself, the boy has to protect his house against two bumbling burglars who are planning to rob it.

Join us at the Parker Williams Branch Library as we demonstrate how to use the Dremel Digilab LC40. Afterwards, patrons will be given the opportunity to paint a set of four wood ornaments that have been pre-cut in our laser cutter. 

You are not required to attend a Laser Cutter Orientation to participate. Registration is required as supplies are limited. 

Join us at the Parker Williams Library for our diamond painting club meeting! Relax, chat and enjoy this beginner friendly adult club. Diamond painting is a craft activity that involves applying tiny resin rhinestones to a pre-printed canvas to create a mosaic-style art piece. It's also known as crystal art or 5D painting.

This craft is a series since diamond painting may take some time. Patrons must finish a painting before they will be allowed to start a new one.

All supplies are provided.
