Storytime!
Every Thursday morning! We are now offering two different times. Our first one begins at 10:30 and is geared towards our youngest friends, including a simplified craft (18 months to 3 years). Then at 11:30 we will have a few stories and at least one craft designed for the next age up. Our hour consists of a few stories and at least one craft. All children must be accompanied by an adult caregiver and adults are expected to help us model good listening and learning behavior for our young friends.

Join us Thursdays from 12:30-2pm! A great group for both experienced and novice fiber artists! Just starting out? Let the experts give you a guiding hand! Experienced but occaisionally need a little bit of help trouble shooting? Come on by - we always have a regular group of folks who are willing to bounce ideas around. Bring whatever project you are currently working on and relax in a comfortable atmosphere and enjoy. Feel free to call us for more information - or just show up, we're happy to have you!
Pokemon Go Club
Meets every Monday, 5pm and Thursday at 1:00, players must have their own device to play on. All children and adults are welcome. Children under 12 years old must be accompanied by an adult. This is a non-competitive fun group; we don’t care what team you are on and neither should you!
