COMMUNITY EVENTS
Saturday June 13, 2015
11:00am - 3:00pm
HOW-TO in 10 Festival and Road Show
Uxbridge Public Library
9 Toronto St. South
Durham Region Libraries will be hosting the third annual,
award winnin g, How-To in 10 Festival and Road Show, at six Library locations
across the region on six dates. The festival grew from the idea that people love to learn
new things but never have enough time. We decided that we could make learning
new and useful skills easy, fun, free and convenient by holding a How-to in 10
Festival where people come together to learn new things and have a great time
in the process. The various Library festivals will take place over different
time spans from May to June. Visit www.howtoin10.com for more detailed
information and a list of previous vendors and pictures.
The
events have had tremendous exposure across the region. Local media has done
several features, the Ontario Library Association featured it at their annual
super conference this year and we won an award from the Durham Art of
Transition Creative Awards for best in Festivals and Events. The Uxbridge
Public Library's event will be Saturday, June 13 from 11:00am-3:00pm.
Saturday July 11, 2015
