CPL Holds First Bilingual Maker Event

In early December, staff from Harold Washington Library Center's Literature and Language Department teamed up with the Maker Lab to host our first bilingual maker event: Create Your Own Flag Bunting.

Presented in HWLC's newly revamped English-language learners space, the event was conducted mostly in English, but bilingual instructors were on hand and ready to assist Spanish-speaking patrons if needed. With patience and good humor, everyone communicated successfully and went home with colorful felt bunting decorations.
