Connect with others in the community, while enjoying free classic films and refreshments! Join us for Mr. Smith Goes to Washington!

Black folk in predominantly white environments have often found it “exhausting” to continually describe for others the negative impact of racism on them. They also have felt it a burden to serve in the position of “teacher” representing the wider Black community, instead of being viewed as individuals with their own unique stories and needs.

For this panel, Black Americans from diverse backgrounds will share their stories on what it means to live in and love their own skin.

Join us at the library in the Special Collections Room and be part of our Research Huddle! In sports, a huddle is when the 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!

Meet other local crafters at our casual, end-of-the-week gathering. Crafters work on any type of project, seek help, or offer expertise. No registration required.

In the dark winter months we want to help you stay cozy and connected with a free online program to help you learn how to level up your correspondence with tips on letter writing and envelope decorating! Registration is required and we will have free art supplies to pick up the week before the event!

Looking to meet new people and catch some classic films? Join film expert, Jeannie MacDonald to watch the classic film, Sunset Blvd., followed by clips from Jeannie's exclusive chat with Nancy Olson, the last living cast member from Sunset Blvd. Light refreshments will be served.
