Participants gather at our designated tables at BrickHaven at 6pm on the 4th Wednesday of each month*. Everyone brings a book of their choice to read. The Library Coordinator greets & welcomes everyone, participants may order drinks and food, and then we'll all silently read the book of our choice, for about 45 minutes. At that time, the Coordinator invites everyone to share a bit about the book they're reading-- people can choose to participate or not, whatever they're comfortable with. Registration required to reserve space.

7th to 12th Graders can register for a special Book Box! These creepy themed boxes include snacks, a spooky item, and stickers plus a library-owned YA horror book.

The witch of November has terrorized the Great Lakes since the first Americans paddled the shorelines. These storms wreak havoc on the lakes and bring notorious storms that have sunk the largest freighters lost on the inland seas. Join us as Ric Mixter shares not only insight and rare survivor interviews from autumn gales, but also first-hand accounts of dives to freighters lost to the winds. From his dive to the Edmund Fitzgerald and help in rediscovery of the Carl Bradley to the unique destruction of the Daniel J Morrell and miraculous survival of Dennis Hale, Ric Mixter shares details and underwater footage that you’ve never seen in any other lecture on the topic.

Adults can gather in the daytime at the Library for interesting presentations, crafts, games -- and coffee, snacks and conversation with friends you know-- and those you've just met. Craft a Grapevine Wreath for the upcoming holidays. Wreaths are 14" and we will have an assortment of seasonal trims for you to create with!

Celebrate the U.S.A.'s 250th birthday by taste testing states' favorite snacks. We'll have the favorite snacks of 10 different states. You get to try the snacks and then guess which state's favorite snack it is!

We will have LEGOs set out in the maker space for patrons to build a LEGO creation using their imagination. When they make something, they can bring it to the front desk to show staff to get a prize. This is an all-day event, stop in anytime while the library is open to participate.
