We offer weekly programs for adults that you may have thought about in the past, and we want you to know you may join at any time. Take a peek at the partial list below.
NEEDLE CRAFTERS: Whether you enjoy knitting, crocheting, rug braiding, quilting or another form of needle work, come join us for Needle Crafters. Each Wednesday, this informal gathering is a fun meet-up for those who are currently working on projects or who wish to start one. Are you stuck on a stitch or confused by a pattern? Most likely someone in the group can help. It is a great group to get some ideas for beginning new projects as well. This weekly meet and greet group enjoy conversation and laughs all while stitching away. Register online or give us a call so you can get started.
The Needle Crafters meet on Wednesdays between 10:30 and noon. Please bring your own materials.
TIME FOR MAH JONGG: If you already know how to play Mah Jongg, come join the fun on Fridays from 1:00-4:30 PM. Players with pre-existing experience are welcome to join us in this strategy-based (plus a bit of luck) game. Registration is required so please use the online calendar or give us a call.
Cozy up in the meeting room of the Library, share some laughs, and make some new friends. Studies have shown that Mah Jongg is a great game for keeping the mind sharp – we can all benefit from that!
Mah Jongg, a fun rummy-like game, is played with tiles rather than cards. There are many different versions of Mah Jongg all around the world. We play American Mah Jongg and follow the rules as defined by the National Mah Jongg league. One of the main differences is that American Mah Jongg uses an annual card of Official Standard Hands and Rules, against which all games are played. These cards are available from the National Mah Jongg League and you will need to bring yours along to use while playing.
*If you are reading this and would like to learn how to play Mah Jongg, keep your eye on the Library’s calendar as we plan to offer a “How to play Mah Jongg” learning session in the Spring of 2022 and at that time you are welcome to sign up to learn.
COMMUNITY KNITTERS: This group of service-minded knitters join up on Thursdays at the Library and bring their projects that they are knitting for charity. If you already know how to knit and want to be involved in these acts of service, stop by with your knitting gear. Registration is not necessary.
SUMMER READING: We can hardly believe it’s almost that time of year again! This summer’s theme is ‘Oceans of Possibilities’ and we plan to have an ocean of possible events and programs for youth of all ages. Registration will start as early as June 1, and there will be more details to follow. This year, if there are at least 200 registrations for the program, Kathy Watson (Youth Services Director) is laying her hair on the line to be dyed partially ‘ocean blue’ if the youth beat her in the challenge. Stay TUNA for more information!
