Tuesday, April 14, 2026, 6:30 – 8:30pm Digital Media Lab You’re invited into the Digital Media Lab for assistance learning how to use Canva! Canva is a browser-based app that offers free and premium access to many digital tools and content libraries that users can combine to make graphics for all purposes! Victor has plenty of experience with both the free and premium versions of Canva to design everything from classroom slides, invitations, books, logos, posters, trading cards, boardgames, science diagrams, stickers, and more. Feel free to drop in to ask Victor about graphic design and Canva, printing or publishing with Canva, or using Canva graphics with our Cricut cutting machine and inkjet printer! Patrons who have never used Canva before should come in prepared to use an email address to make an account. Although Canva offers many of its features for free, many options require a subscription. We will have opportunities for patrons to try out the premium features of Canva while they are in the library! ———————— Join us in the Digital Media Lab for IDEA BOOST specialty help hours every Tuesday evening from 6:30-8:30 PM. During IDEA BOOST, Victor will help patrons make graphics for Sticker Lab (every first Tuesday of the month), use Canva to for various graphic designs (every second Tuesday of the month), make shirts and vinyl cuts during Cricut Lab (every third Tuesday of the month), and edit media during Photo and Video Lab (every fourth Tuesday of the month)! Our specialty help hours will not replace the assistance we offer in the Digital Media Lab during our regularly scheduled Help Hours. Our goal with this series is to spotlight some areas of interest that patrons have requested from feedback surveys. During these special help hours, patrons are also more than welcome to request that Victor explore a certain feature, a certain software, or other ideas in-between months, so that he can provide specialty assistance on the following month’s IDEA BOOST! NO SIGN UP NECESSARY! Open to the public The Digital Media Lab is available during this event.
