Learn about Deschutes Public Library’s How-To Fest: a day of learning, creativity, and community building. We hosted a full-day, full-library learning fest in which more than 26 volunteer experts taught over 340 people how to do a wide variety of things in a single day. From teen-lead sessions on “how to sew on a button” to professional presentations on “how to reupholster a chair” we helped our community learn from their neighbors, using every corner of our building and property as our classroom. This program can be scaled up or down to grow the “how to” map and spread the points of light from Oregon’s smallest branches, to our largest institutions. You will hear about the practical steps we took to go from idea to reality, get tips on hosting a snag-free day (almost), and maybe even learn how to host your own learning fest.
