The Library has adapted its offerings to provide dozens of online programs for community members at home, including photoshop tutorials, help for small businesses, coding clubs, and early literacy programs. Earlier this month, RHPL also launched its first-ever Virtual Reference Desk for kids, allowing school-aged kids the opportunity to connect face-to-face with a Librarian and get homework help online.
Culture Days kicks off on Sept. 26 and run through Oct. 17 and will consist of:
- Art Conversations at Central Library: See works of the Richmond Hill Annual Studio Tour and Dynasty Watercolour Association artists in person, outside of our Central location.
