Also at Your Library This Month

Maker Studio 1-on-1 Training Sessions

Wednesdays at various times

Our Maker Studio experts are now offering one-on-one sessions where you get to take the lead! Bring your questions about a particular piece of equipment, a design issue you're having, or the unusual theory of making you've developed; our experts will do what they can to answer your questions and help guide you to better understanding (and a successful project!). Sessions are taking place every Wednesday this month, and registration opens one week in advance.

December Focus:

DCDL's Winter Reading Club

Do you love to read? Come to Library programs? Listen to audiobooks? So do we! That's why we love Winter Reading Club. It's easy to participate -- just pick up or print a Winter Reading Club bookmark. Then fill out the bookmark with any combination of four books/audiobooks you’ve read or library programs you’ve attended. Everything counts! Once your bookmark is full, bring it back to the Library and tell us which prize basket you’d like to enter to win -- we have four prize baskets at each of our five locations (plus another for our Outreach clients!), filled with everything from new books and library goodies to gift cards and other unexpected surprises. Enter as many times as you’d like; the more you read and attend, the more likely your chances are to win the prize!
