Madison, WI - How do you play Minecraft or make your own screen print? Madison Public Library is giving the public a chance to find out during their 2nd annual How-To Fest, a week-long series of free workshops led by fellow community members wanting to share their knowledge and passions with others. 

How-To Fest welcomes the general public to explore unique activities, master new skills, and broaden their understanding of a variety of topics. “Preservation 101,” “Writing Gratitude Poems,” and “Gift Boxes and Bags” are just some of the many eclectic events the library will be hosting.
