Come and share your writing and participate in guided writing activities with other writers in the neighborhood. Writers of all genres and skill levels are welcome. 

Adults are invited to join us in making their own cards. Make greeting cards for your loved ones for any occasion. Supplies are provided but feel free to also bring your own. All skill levels are welcome. Come along and have fun! Registration is required. 

Cover to Cover has multiplied!

Join us once a month for lively discussions on books in a variety of genres and voices.

Starting September 2024, there will be two groups reading the same books, but at different times of the year. Choose a morning session - Daybreak Discussions - or evening session - Nightfall Forum - that works with your schedule.

When you register for a session, there is no need to request a physical copy, as one will be ready for you! If you would prefer a different format such as an e-book or audiobook, please click on the title link below to place a hold through your own account.

By registering for this program, you are registering for a Tuesday morning session. To register for a Thursday evening session, please visit Cover to Cover: Nightfall Forum.
