Hands-on tutorial session for learning new skills at any age!

Start the year off with fresh tips on budget-friendly cleaning solutions! Using handy household ingredients and a little elbow grease, we will make some of our own cleaning supplies and learn some tricks along the way!

Not everything comes to us naturally. This series of Life Skills 101 will present in-person tutorials and offer a chance to try your hand at tackling a new skill. Supplemental materials will be provided, with activities available for all age groups. 

Due to the historic nature of the EVPL East, West, and Stringtown buildings their meeting rooms are not fully ADA accessible. If you are interested in participating in a program that is not accessible, please contact that location to arrange alternate accommodations.

About the branch

Located at 2000 W Franklin St., EVPL West was one of three original libraries built in Evansville with funds donated by Andrew Carnegie. Along with EVPL East, it was dedicated and opened to the public on January 1, 1913. Renovated in 2003, the building is surrounded by a park-like setting that is home to annual events like the Farmer’s Market and West Side Nut Club Fall Festival. EVPL West features a spacious meeting room, public access computers, and comfortable adult and youth areas.
