Literary Art: Wire Wrapped Bead Pendants - Wednesday, 5/14, at 5:30pm

An art group for adults to chat and create together. This is as much a social event as it is an art class. This month, we have the return of a popular craft and teacher. Joeine will be coming in to help us create wire-wrapped bead pendants. The examples above are from the last class that Joeine led at the library. Hope to see you there!
Shelf Indulgence: Book Club - Monday, 5/19, at 5:00pm in-person and via Zoom
We select a new book to read each month and we make an effort to read from different genres. We will be reading The Princess Bride by William Goldman. Email nick@creswell-library.org or call him at the library at 541-895-3053 to join.
The next Grownup Game Night is on June 25th at Blue Valley Bistro! We hope to see you there for some more fun and games!
Creswell Library Foundation - We need members!
We are looking for new members for the Creswell Public Library Foundation! This foundation is an important fundraising arm of the library and was the original driving force for our little library. But now the foundation is in need of new members. If you are interested in helping our library continue to thrive but aren't able to volunteer more than once or twice a month, this is a great way to help out. Contact Nick at nick@creswell-library.org to learn more!
Chair Yoga - Mondays 10am - 11am
Please bring 2 beach towels to help support some of our yoga activities.
Chair Yoga, hosted by the amazing Deanna Hoover, will be on Monday mornings at 10am. Chair Yoga features 30 minutes of yoga with a chair for support; the second 30 minutes will be light mat yoga. Please bring your own mat and two yoga blocks if you have them.
Knitting Group - Every Saturday at 11am
Every Saturday at 11, our local knitting expert, Sandra, is at the library. She can help with pretty much any knitting question you might have, or you can come in, hang out and work on a project!

Libby's Skip-the-Line Feature
Have you noticed the new Skip-the-Line feature in Libby? With Skip-the-Line books you can check out high-interest books without having to wait on hold. There is a bit of a catch, though. The checkout period for these books is 7 days. You can find a little more information by following this link: https://help.libbyapp.com/en-us/6172.htm
Don't know what Libby is? It is the library app where you can check out and read ebooks and magazines as well as listen to audiobooks. You can watch a short video about it by following this link: https://overdrive.wistia.com/medias/id98dr2m64
