Evening Book Group
Tuesday, August 28
7 - 8:30 p.m.
Keyes Meeting Room
 Local author Preston Heller will be reading from his novel One Good Thing.
"You are not who you think you are. You are not Kerry Fitzgerald." And so begins Kerry's journey of spiritual awakening, a process not of self-improvement, but of self-annihilation. A journey from suffering and separation to freedom and love, a pilgrimage inward that will call into question every belief she has ever held dear and challenge her to ask the most important question of her life, "Who am I?" --Amazon Editors
Copies of the book will be available at the library. Newcomers are welcome. |
Knit 1, Crochet 2
1st and 3rd Mondays of every Month
6:30 - 8:30 p.m.
Keyes Meeting Room
Are you looking for other yarn addicts? Do your Monday nights seem dull? Look no further! Don't have a project in mind? Can't seem to finish that scarf for Grandma? Or are you a complete beginner with an itch to stitch? Bring your project in & be inspired; if you're a beginner, your local craft store can help you select a project & requisite supplies. There will be no formal instruction but 'knitwits' are a helpful bunch and love to indoctrinate the uninitiated into the cult of knitting. Tea, helpful company & oodles of knitting books will be served.
Note: Date Change!!! |
