Clubs and Programs... for Adults!

While we are a very family-oriented library, with various well-known children's and teen's programs, we also have free clubs and programs for adults, where anyone 18 or older may join! No dues or mandatory meetings are required - just friendly gatherings between people who want to make a difference. Why not try one of these staples?

Book Club: The Book Club meets the 2nd Tuesday of every month at 7pm to comment on and discuss a designated novel with others. The library posts flyers that list the Book Club choices for each month. The books read by the Club range from classics to biographies, pop fiction to historical novels. Anyone who reads the monthly Book Club pick may come to the meeting!

Garden Club: These folks meet on the 3rd Thursday of each month at 7pm to plan summer weedings in the community, plant exchanges, fundraisers, and picnics! The club even has special informational speakers at every meeting, covering topics from composting to invasive plants. From "master gardeners" to "weed-keepers," you're welcome to join!

Knitting Club: From beginners to "old pros," this knitting circle is for everyone! The Knitting Club meets every other Tuesday from 10am - noon; check the flyers in the library for specific dates. While the Club sometimes works together on special projects, you are encouraged to bring your own knitting. Whether for help or for friendly company, if you like to knit, the Knitting Club is for you!


We also have other special adult programs and clubs, such as:

Computer Classes & Programs: These classes and programs cover basic to moderate computer skills, from learning about using a mouse to navigating the Internet and creating formulas in Excel. Classes are taught in the Community Room throughout the year on various topics; keep an eye on the bulletin window for class offerings!

Comfort Keepers: These helpful meetings are for those with aging parents. These speakers point out warning signs, suggest plans for lifestyle changes, and reference reliable local services for adults that want information about caring for their elderly parents. These meetings are great resources, so if you fall into this category, watch for the Comfort Keepers flyers!

Community Room Events: From art classes and insurance help in summer to Santa visits and special speakers in winter, various fun and informative events are scheduled at the library throughout the year! Event dates will be posted in advance in the library and around town to keep you posted!

 Also, if you are part of a non-profit group or club that needs a meeting place, you can apply to use our  Community Room at the front desk. You can view the Community Room Application here!

Both men and women enjoy these events, so if you're interested in any of these clubs or meetings, feel free to call the desk for more information, or just drop in and give them a try! See you here!
