KATIE'S PICK | WORTH CHECKING OUT

DID YOU KNOW KINGWOOD'S LIBRARY HAS A LASER CUTTER?

Today's pick highlights a community resource that many residents may not realize is available.

The Kingwood Branch Library offers access to laser-cutting and engraving equipment through Harris County Public Library's Maker Central program.

Residents can learn how to use the equipment through an orientation class and, after completing the required training, request machine time for eligible projects.

The program opens opportunities for creative projects, personalized gifts, and learning new technology.

What makes it especially worthwhile?

It's an example of how our local library provides much more than books.

From technology training to creative workshops, residents have access to resources that encourage learning, creativity, and new skills.

Today's orientation is full, but another Kingwood session is scheduled for December 8.
