O Community Expo invites residents to create and innovate Coinciding with the library's mission of building community by connecting people and ideas, the Community Expo aims to bring residents together in an inspiring, intergenerational environment. Activities range from traditional crafting -- such as card making and felting -- to experimentation with cutting-edge technologies -- like 3D printing, HTML coding and robotics. A digital storytime will also be held for young children. "The library's Community Expo is a gathering of fascinating, curious people who enjoy learning and love sharing what they do," said Charlotte Meissner, Oakville Public Library CEO. "It's a new and unique way to showcase human ingenuity and imagination to inform, entertain and inspire our community." OPL's Community Expo is just one example of how its offerings are evolving to encourage creativity, collaboration and discovery in new and exciting ways. For a full list of activities and `makers' to be featured at the Community Expo, visit www.opl.ca.
