They also host a variety of book clubs for all ages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>HPL has also partnered with Forsyth Library and the MakerSpace for the \u201cHow-To\u201d series. The first <a href=\"https:\/\/tigermedianet.com\/?p=80720\">How-To event took place earlier this year, where students could learn how to cook without stovetops.<\/a>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Two library representatives taught the demonstration which was targeted toward college students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The latest How-To presentation took place at the library on Tuesday and discussed renter friendly home repairs. Nathan Howard, a professor at Fort Hays State University and a teacher in the Applied Technology department, was the speaker for this presentation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He started the presentation by introducing himself and how he works at the college, then moved on to show different types of tools for various kinds of jobs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some of the tools mentioned were common, like a hammer, screwdriver, measuring tape, and pliers. Along with the tools, Howard demonstrated how to use a digital voltage tester, which measures the electrical voltage that is present in a circuit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Howard also explained some minor house repairs someone could do without spending hundreds of dollars getting professionally fixed. For example, the first repair he explained was how to fix a hole in the drywall, and that\u2019s usually an easy fix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The next couple of repairs that could be done by yourself were changing out the floor flange on a toilet and unclogging a sink drain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The next event going on in the how-to series takes place at 6 p.m. on December 10 at Hays Public Library and will be hosted by the library along with Chestnut Street Floral.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By SHA&#8217;URI SHIPLEY-CLARK Tiger Media Network The Hays Public Library hosts many events, from active reading for preschoolers to board game nights for teenagers and&hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":142,"featured_media":83457,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[3397,11],"tags":[3126,15907,16013],"class_list":["post-83456","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-area-news","category-news","tag-hays-public-library","tag-how-to-series","tag-shauri-shipley-clark"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/tigermedianet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/11-12-How-to.png?fit=1200%2C675&ssl=1","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack-related-posts":[],"jetpack_likes_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tigermedianet.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/83456","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tigermedianet.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tigermedianet.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tigermedianet.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/142"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tigermedianet.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=83456"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/tigermedianet.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/83456\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":83458,"href":"https:\/\/tigermedianet.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/83456\/revisions\/83458"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tigermedianet.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/83457"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tigermedianet.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=83456"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tigermedianet.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=83456"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tigermedianet.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=83456"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
