Adult Summer Reading Program

An illustrated board game-style map with activities for an adult summer reading challenge.

Are you jealous of all the kids and their awesome Summer Reading Program? Well, I've got good news for you! Our Adult Summer Reading program kicked off this week. With our adult reading program, you can earn raffle tickets by reading, cooking, hiking, listening to audiobooks, and talking with friends. Use your raffle tickets to enter a drawing for one of our prize baskets. We have a garden-themed basket, a coffee and tea basket, and a book-themed basket. 

This year we will track Adult Summer Reading on a game board. Come in, sign up, grab your board, and get to work reading and tackling our other challenges. 

Community Survey

We would love to hear what we are doing right, where we can improve, and where we should focus moving forward.  It is a short survey but it makes a big difference to us.  You can follow this link or scan the QR code in the picture above. Thank you!

Shelf Indulgence: Book Club July 15th at 5:00pm in-person and via Zoom

Literary Art: Fired Ink Coasters - July 24th at 5:30pm

Colorful, melted crayon art with a flame above it, on a foil-lined tray.

An art group for adults to chat and create together. This is as much a social event as it is an art class. We thought we would spice things up this month and set our art on fire! We will be using alcoholic ink, ceramic tiles, and fire to make our coasters.

May contain: cutlery, spoon, and cup

Coffee and Books - Tuesdays at 11:00am

Join us every Tuesday morning at 11am for coffee and books at our book club. No need to stress about finding the book club book and staying on pace with everyone else.

No pressure to share if you just want to join us to get ideas about new books to read.
