To celebrate International Games Month, we’re launching a new program! Join us for Board Games and Beyond, an all-ages event running from 4:30 to 7:00 p.m. We’ll have board games on both sides of the library, plus VR and our Nintendo Switch. There will be a “grownups side” and an “all-ages side” so everyone can enjoy games suited to them. If you have any questions, talk to Lindsey or Nick.

Kitchen Capers: PIES! - Tuesday, 11/11, 5:00pm

Literary Art: Dragon Eggs - Wednesday, 11/12, at 5:00pm

At our library, kids have made dragon eggs twice now, and I've received several requests from adults who want to make their own. So come in and make your dragon eggs with us! We will have everything you need to join in on the fun.

Tech Help Office Hours - Thursday, 11/13, 1:00 - 2:00pm

Do you need help with a new phone? Stuck setting up your email? Can't get your Bluetooth headphones to work? Don't know what Bluetooth is, but want to know? Swing by for help with your tech, questions, and problems. We won't be able to help you with everything, but we will do our best!

Shelf Indulgence: Book Club - Monday, 11/17, 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 Wedding People by Alison Espach. Join us for this contemporary dark comedy! Email nick@creswell-library.org or call him at the library at 541-895-3053 to join.

Walking Group -NOW ON MONDAY Mondays at 9:30am

Did you know that the library has been working with OHSU for two years on a walking group study? During the study, the group wasn't open to the public, but the study is done, and we can now welcome everyone to our walking group! Join a cheerful group of walkers for Friday morning strolls. Each walk is usually under an hour and over flat land. Sometimes we go a little long, but more often we go a little short. The group will meet at Tractor Supply on the first Monday of each month. Every other Monday, the group will be meeting at the library. Email Nick to get on the group email list and learn the location of the next walk and any weather-related or other location changes.

Chair Yoga - Mondays 8:55am - 9:55am

Please bring 2 beach towels to help support some of our yoga activities.

Chair Yoga, hosted by the amazing Deanna Hoover. Chair Yoga features 20 minutes of yoga in a chair, 20 minutes standing with a chair for support, and 20 minutes of light mat yoga. Please bring your own mat and two yoga blocks if you have them.

The first Monday of the month, we will have coffee and tea available for people to sit down and chat with Deanna and others from the yoga group.

**Coffee and Books - Tuesdays at 11:00am *Now with more Coffee!**

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. Read what you want at your own speed and share with us when you are ready. Everyone who comes talks about the books they are reading or have recently finished. No pressure to share if you just want to join us to get ideas about new books to read.

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!
