CRIBBAGE Wednesday 11:00am-12:00pm Do you enjoy cribbage, or want to learn? This lively group meets in the Community Room. All experience levels are welcome, including those completely new to the game.
HANDCRAFTING Wednesday 1:00pm-2:30pm The library Handcrafter Group is looking for you! If you knit, crochet, sew, felt, weave, cross-stitch or would like to learn, you've found your group. Bring any project you're working on and enjoy a relaxing time in the comfortable Reading Room. The library has a handy collection of knitting, lacework, and crochet books shelved in this room for reference or borrowing.
ORIGAMI Every Thursday EXCEPT 1ST THURSDAY 2:30-4:00pm These fun origami sessions are open to adults, as well as kids (children under 4th grade must be accompanied by an adult).
TECH TIME Thursday 4:00-5:00pm Bring your technology questions, challenges and frustrations to the Community Room and our team of Tech Gurus will find the answers. No appointment required. Sometimes Tech Time runs past 5pm, and the library will stay open to accommodate.
MAHJONG Friday 1:00-4:30pm Invented mysteriously in Chinese history, much speculation abounds that dates Mahjong's origins before 500 BCE, so Confucius could have played it, or even before 2350 BCE, placing Mahjong as contemporary with Noah's Ark. One thing we do know: a lively session of Mahjong takes place at the library every Friday. Beginners are welcome!
