3D Printing Drop-In @ TeenHQ

Middle and high school students are welcome to explore 3D printing with this drop-in program at TeenHQ’s MakerSpace. Teens will learn the (very) basics of 3D printing, test a design for printability, then schedule their print for later pick-up. Teens can choose a design from Thingiverse or bring their own design from home. Designs from home must be in an .stl file format and fit on a USB. All prints must be able to go on a TeenHQ USB and claimed when print is available for pick-up. Designs are considered printable if able to load and save on Lulzbot Cura, but the librarian has final say. All prints must take less than 8hrs 30 minutes. All prints are free as long as they meet the printable criteria above and below. Program is first come, first serve. The first 10 teens will be able to do prints. Laptops are available but may be limited. You may bring your own device, but we recommend downloading and installing Lulzbot Cura prior to attending the program. All who schedule a print must pick up their print within 3 weeks of being notified their print is ready unless you notify the librarian of any issues. The librarian will email and/or call to notify that the print is ready at TeenHQ for pick-up. Please be aware that: No weapons or items that could be construed as a weapon will be accepted for print. Prints that are considered obscene or otherwise inappropriate for the library environment will be not accepted for print. The library’s 3D printers must be used only for lawful purposes. All local, state, and federal laws must be followed. For this program, 3D printers will only be operated by library staff. Accepted prints may not violate any third party’s intellectual property, such as copyright, patent, or trademark. Library staff reserve the right to refuse any 3D print request. SJPL and library staff are not responsible for malfunctions or misprints. This program is free. No pre-registration required. ADA Accommodation Requests

Partners in Reading In-Person Volunteer Orientation

Imagine that you could not talk to your doctor or read transit information. Your life would be very difficult. Partners in Reading, the adult literacy program of the San José Public Library, needs volunteers for two positions to help adults. We are recruiting for volunteer adult literacy and ESL tutors. You can make a difference in an adult’s life by volunteering twice a week to help adults build skills so they can function more confidently at home, at work, and as a member of the San José community. The adults in the basic literacy section of the program are able to have a conversation in English but read or write below the high school level. They work on building reading, writing, and technology skills. They are from all over the world, including from the United States. The adults in the ESL part of the program work on building basic conversation skills so they can help their children in school, get better jobs, and possibly move to the adult literacy part of the program. The adults come to Partners in Reading with a host of skills and for many reasons, but they all want to become more independent. You can help by making a minimum 6-month commitment to help an individual with basic conversation, or reading, writing, and technology skills. Tutoring will change your life, too! Benefits: Help your community Learn new skills Help an adult function more independently Requirements Be 18 or older Have a high school diploma, GED, or above Have excellent reading and writing skills Be proficient in technology Report progress each month Commit to 6 months or more of tutoring Pass fingerprint clearance Attend an orientation and complete an online training Attend in-person tutor training meeting Visit https://www.sjpl.org/par-tutor to learn more. The in-person orientation and the training sessions will be held at the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Library. Thank you for volunteering with the San José Public Library and Partners in Reading.
