Digital devices, landscapes teeming with life, the pulsing heart of DJ culture, and the ins and outs of internet commerce—Washington County libraries are set to offer a myriad of educational events this March for the tech-savvy and the green-thumbed alike. The lineup promises to enrich minds and skill sets in a series of in-person and virtual gatherings.
On March 12, those vexed by lagging tech can head to the Hardwood Creek Library for a tutorial on keeping their gadgets in top-notch condition with Roger Hagedorn, as he shares tools and techniques to avoid the digital despair of crashes and viruses, say the event details posted March 1st. Not an hour later, at 2 p.m. in Oakdale Library, green thumbs and nature lovers can join a conversation on attracting pollinators to their gardens, featuring guidance from environmental stewards Hannah Peterson and Lori Maxfield.
For those with a rhythm in their soul, Park Grove Library invites attendees to delve into the "Art and Science of DJing" at 3 p.m. the same day. The program, funded with money from Minnesota's Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund, will also offer practical insights into DJ employment opportunities. Transforming seamlessly from physical to digital realms, aspiring entrepreneurs can dive into the world of online business setups and e-commerce in two distinct virtual offerings on March 12 and March 19, detailed in the library's announcement.
And as the month marches on, the R.H. Stafford Library in Woodbury tackles a sobering yet crucial topic—Health Care Directives. On March 22, experts from Trellis will educate individuals on asserting their medical preferences through forethought and documentation. The educational vent dials back to tech with a virtual class on leveraging Google's suite of products for maximal productivity on March 25, rounding out a diverse spectrum of workshops aimed at empowering the local community to thrive in the modern world.
