Boynton library programs stack up this week, with studio orientation, tween book club, sewing classes, teen career help and the Night Market ahead.
Studio orientation opens the door to library equipment
Boynton Beach Library holds Creative Edge Studio orientation Saturday at 2 p.m. for patrons who want to use the studio equipment. The session covers available equipment, required file types, materials the library sells, materials patrons can bring, waiver requirements and usage guidelines before appointments can be made. A Boynton Beach City Library card is required, and the session is limited to four people. It is a practical first step for anyone planning to use the library's creative tools rather than a one-off class. (Boynton Beach Library)
