While DIY is in fashion, why not make some fashion with things you’ve made yourself? The Make Workshop offers basic sewing lessons for those interested in making simple pieces, or learning how to operate that hand-me-down sewing machine.

Where can you find Tai Chi and technology lessons under the same roof? The New York Public Library of course! They have classes to suit almost any need, but many of them are to help educate the public on information literacy. The best part is that many of the classes they offer are completely free of charge!
