Do you enjoy jigsaw puzzles? Register yourself to join a team or register a team of no more than 3 people for a fun Sunday afternoon of friendly, competitive puzzling! 

 

Each team receives the same 500-piece jigsaw puzzle. The puzzle challenge will be timed—each team has 60 minutes to work on their puzzle.  We have four puzzles available—enough for 12 people to participate.  Contact us for more information and to join in the fun!

Two Book Groups—One on Zoom, One In-House

 

The Wild Pages Book Group on Zoom

 

This popular, long-running book group (previously called the Nature & Books Discussion Series) is a wonderful way to get inspired, be curious, and explore ideas with a community of readers.

 

You may register for the whole program (September 2025 through April 2026) or attend individual sessions.

 

The library offers loans of each book to participants (first come, first served, while supplies last). Books are available for loan on a monthly basis only, not for the entire series, although it may be possible to renew a title after borrowing.

 

Discussion questions & book guide, book loans and monthly Zoom links are available upon registration. Contact the library to register.
