The Aspiring Writers Group offers constructive feedback and inspiration to writers and aspiring writers of all genres. 

Want to get a blog started or grow one? Hoping to be published in a magazine? Trying to finish or fine-tune the next great American novel? We welcome all!

Struggling with your phone, tablet or laptop? Simply drop in on a Tuesday between the hours of 9-11 am for help from a knowledgeable librarian. Bring your questions about topics like getting started with the Libby app, setting up an email account, word processing, storing pictures, navigating social media platforms, and troubleshooting software issues. Come once or as often as you need to - help is here.

Please bring your device and password information to these sessions.

A "memory café" is a social gathering designed for individuals experiencing early dementia and memory loss, along with their caregivers or loved ones.  Come to connect, socialize, and build support networks in a comfortable and welcoming environment centered around conversation over coffee, with the primary goal of providing a safe space to interact without feeling embarrassed or misunderstood.
