This group meets on the 2nd and 4th Friday of each month (unless a holiday interferes). They meet on the 2nd floor of the library to discuss a short story. Stop at the front desk to get more information or to pick up the story for each session.

"Talking at the Speed of Light" is an educational journey for all ages! The group will meet at 5 PM every other Thursday to learn and practice American Sign Language. Between the meetings, participants can use the library's Rocket Sign Language app at home. Then all can practice together when meeting again.

Are you ready to start your interactive journey toward American Sign Language (ASL) fluency? Let us be your guide! We’ll start by learning the fundamentals of ASL and the differences between sign languages around the world.

You’ll learn a bit about the Deaf community, get some tips on how to start signing clearly and effectively, and even learn some basic signs.

Throughout four sessions, you'll learn essential sewing techniques like threading a needle, sewing a straight line, and creating basic stitches. Our experienced instructor will guide you through each step, providing hands-on demonstrations and personalized feedback. Learn how to make a small project and then choose a larger one. Consider coming into the library's maker space to practice between scheduled sessions. Use our donated fabrics to practice and create your project(s).
