John Bkila | Oakville Beaver | April 17, 2016

The Oakville Public Library held its inaugural Community Expo earlier this month in the auditorium of its Central Branch on Navy Street.

The free, family-friendly event featured local crafters and technocrafters showcasing their skills.

Titled Create & Innovate, the event also allowed residents to try their hand at something new.

Activities included: silk screening, jewelry and card making, 3D printing, coding, robotics, and arm knitting, among others.

“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,” stated a media release.

“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.”

The Oakville Public Library has six branches located throughout the town and offers programs for all ages, collections of books, digital media offerings and town-wide outreach endeavors.
