Join us for a Research Huddle in the Special Collections Room! In sports, a huddle is when players gather in a circle to strategize, motivate, or celebrate. We think genealogists should do the same!

This is the perfect opportunity to dig into your personal history and tell your family’s story. Use the library’s print collections and research databases to progress with your fact-finding. We’ll gather to use library resources, share our successes, learn from fellow researchers, and overcome our research stumbling blocks!

Sage Clarke is back this summer to offer free weekly yoga classes on Tuesday evenings! Join us on Tuesdays from June 17 to September 16 from 6:30-7:30 PM for an hour of outdoor, all-levels yoga in the library garden behind the library.

Join us in the field next to the library for a BYOT (Bring Your Own T-shirt) Party!!! We provide the dyes, you bring your own item to tie dye. 

Bring your own pre-washed item to dye; we provide the dyes and rubber bands. Prewashing helps the dyes stick to the fibers better. Shirts, shorts, pants, cloth hats, cloth masks, socks, towels ... all great items to bring.
