Attend free workshops and events <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do you know the Libraries host a range of free workshops and events? Our offerings include readings, concerts, workshops, our beloved Charles L. Blockson Afro-American Collection series, and more, and are always open to everyone.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the spring, our Beyond the Page<\/span><\/em><\/a> public programming series explores the experience of making a home in a new place. We’ll look at the stories of immigrants, refugees, and others who have left one home for another, and consider what it means to belong\u2014and to be welcomed into new spaces. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We also have a full slate of virtual workshops<\/span><\/a> scheduled for the spring on everything from video recording and editing to using citation managers to getting started with 3D scanning and printing. We hope you\u2019ll join us for any or all of these specialized online learning opportunities! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even more tips! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
