OCTOBER 2023 Update! 

We now offer Homework Help with experienced and trained tutors.

For Kindergarten through 12th grade!

Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays from 3 to 5pm

Some hours of the week, college students and adults are at work on their laptops.

At other times, kids are enjoying the drop-in crafts and checking out books, playing games on the computers, and otherwise socializing.

Sometimes all that happens at the same time.

  • Thursday afternoons, Knit ‘n’ Needle club has been a great time to practice our skills, encourage one another, and maybe finish a project you started.
  • And Thursday afternoons provide a sense of community for knitters and friends who want to join the conversation!
  • Look for upcoming author talks, presentations from illustrators, and artists’ receptions throughout the year,
    as well as adult craft programs and special performances for all ages.
  •  See new artwork featured on the walls every month from professional artists, or their students.

We’d love to see you soon!
