Upcoming Events

Sign up for a 1-1 session to learn how to use the Makerspace's Baby Lock Aventura II Embroidery Machine. During this 45-minute session, you will learn the ins and outs of the embroidery machine and complete a small embroidery project to take home with you. 

This program is intended for beginners. All materials will be provided.

Have some fun playing everyone's favorite game -- BINGO! Seniors and their caregivers can join us for Bingo and other games. Prizes for winners and fun for all! Registration is required. 

Stop by the first Thursday of the month and follow easy instructions to create a different craft or art project. Crafting supplies are provided. This program is for adults. Registration is not required.

Join Technology and Makerspace Librarian Sarah Quinn and learn the basics of Tinkercad. Tinkercad is a free, online 3D modeling program that uses the constructive solid geometry method of building 3D models. Sarah will teach you the basics of Tinkercad as she guides you through a project. 

We will use Tinkercad on the public PCs, so all participants must have a basic understanding of how to use a computer. Due to the time it takes to 3D print, participants will return to the library at a later date to pick up their 3D-printed models.

Calling all adult aspiring Writers and Wordsmiths! 

Are you a new writer in search of support and encouragement? Have you already started down the writing path but repeatedly experience creative drought? Or perhaps you’d like to develop solid writing skills or find the perfect inspiration before taking another step on your writing journey. 

Join us for our Writers’ Group devoted to those who are relatively new to the craft of writing and would like to develop their skills, or to those who have just dabbled in writing but would like to take a deeper dive. 

We’ll explore various topics, including how to find your creative flow, build effective writing habits, and create momentum in your writing. Whether it’s working with writing prompts, learning tips and tricks from the masters, or sharing your writing in a supportive and enthusiastic environment, let’s honor that talent and discover where creativity (and practice) can lead us!
