The French Language Discussion Group meets at the library.

Please note that each group is volunteer-facilitated. These are not classes. They will have no teachers and may have no native speakers. However, the library has many resources for language learning—ask us today!

We craft, ewe craft, we all craft together! Join library staff and fellow crafters on the third Friday of each month from 5 - 6:30 PM for an after-hours, drop-in, open crafting time.
