Dearborn Public Library is starting a series of “Life Skills” programs.

The first installment in the series is “How to Fix a Leaky Faucet,” which will be presented online from 6:30 – 7:00 p.m., March 30. In this program, library staff will demonstrate how to use one of the library’s free databases, Home Improvement Reference Center, to help fix a leaky faucet.

The second installment is “How to Jump Start a Car,” which will be presented online from 6:30 – 7:00 p.m., April 6. In this program, library staff will show how to use another one of the library’s free databases, Consumer Reports, for step-by-step instructions on how to jump start a vehicle. Staff will also suggest a tool to have that is even better than jumper cables.

The third in the series is “How to Use a Generator,” presented online from 6:30 – 7:00 p.m., May 4. Here library staff will return to Consumer Reports, this time to show how to use it for help in selecting a portable generator; and staff will go over instructions on using a generator, which is an invaluable tool to have during a power outage.

All of these programs will be online through Zoom. To register: visit the events calendar at dearbornlibrary.org. A Zoom link will be sent via email once registered.
