Join us Saturday, September 28th at Handley Library for our How To Fest, a “how to human” event for ages 0 to 99 where you can learn a little about a lot.
Participate in fun activities that teach you "how-to" do new things such as how to sew a button with the Sit n' Stitch crew, how to go on a real life treasure hunt by geocaching, or even how to look in a microscope!
Here's how the day will work:
Tables and programs will be set up all around the library, providing you with opportunities to pick and choose the activities that interest you. If you aren't at a scheduled workshop, you can stop by one of our many stations for a laid back how-to demonstration.
