Simsbury Public Library Participates in Town-wide Innovation Fair

Come celebrate the anniversary of Simsbury Public Library's Innovators' Fair with the expanded Simsbury Innovation Fair. This year, the Library is just one stop during this exciting event! Activities and exhibits will be taking place at the Simsbury Historical Society, Simsbury High School and in the North Village at the Wagner complex. Multiple organizations, including the local private schools, have come together to highlight and promote Simsbury as a place of innovation where exciting new advancements are made continuously by residents of all ages.

The Simsbury Public Library will be a showcase for local and regional innovation. You can come and watch, listen and be amazed by technological innovations created by 3D printers. Browse a display of ingenious objects to delight you. Hands-on classes and demonstrations for all ages will teach you how to make your own ideas into a prototype, how to do coding using Scratch, make an LED bracelet, build a Brushbot, or download magazines to your device. Small businesses can learn about the Virtual-Small Business Development Center using Google Hangouts. And if you're feeling e-device challenged, techie teens will be roaming the library to help you.

For the younger set, attend the ribbon cutting of the amazing Innovators' Workshop Mini-Maker Space in the Children's Room. Activities throughout the day will keep small minds engaged in creative ways with everything from snap circuits to catapults.

"Simsbury has been a place of innovation throughout history. This year's Simsbury Innovation Fair will demonstrate the tradition of innovation as it continues today in our town," said Library Director Lisa Karim.

The Simsbury Innovation Fair will be held on Saturday, April 25, 2015 from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. More information will be available at the Simsbury Public Library, Simsbury Historical Society, Simsbury High School and on the Town website. You can contact the Library at 860-658-7663 x2200 or online at simsburylibrary.info. All activities are free and open to all.
