Welcome to Book (re)Marks, all the info you need about what’s happening this month at the Library. September tends to be a quieter month here at the Library after the busy, busy, busy Summer program, but there are still plenty of things happening while we work to “reset the ride.”
It’s National Stargazing Month. Our latest book display features books about our universe and what you can see in the night sky. Did you know we have a tabletop telescope you can borrow? Ask at the desk about availability. Also check out our bulletin board featuring authors with September birthdays. Come see who we’ve highlighted.
The COA Bookclub will meet at 1 pm, Tuesday, September 17 to discuss “The Paris Library” by Janet Skeslien Charles. Books & Babble Bookclub will be discussing “This is Your Mind on Plants” by Michael Pollan at 6:30 pm, Thursday, September 26. Books for both clubs are available for pick-up at the Library or on the Libby app.
Do you like to knit, crochet, or cross stitch? If so, join us from 6-8 pm on Mondays for a social gathering of handcrafters. Bring your latest project or something from the stash. Maybe your creative outlet involves pen and paper? Join our Writer’s Group the third Thursday of every month to keep those ideas flowing. Open to anyone 18+. Next meeting is 6:30 pm, September 19.
