Join Beth McCoun every Tuesday at 4:45 PM for chair yoga and discover a gentle yet effective form of exercise that can benefit seniors both physically and mentally. Chair yoga makes yoga accessible to adults with mobility limitations, providing a comfortable alternative to traditional yoga practice. With chair yoga, you can experience the benefits of yoga while seated, eliminating the need for up-and-down movements typically associated with yoga practice.

Come join us for Baby Time, perfect for little ones from birth to two years old! This fun program is all about fostering a love of reading and early literacy in a joyful setting. Each session includes two adorable board books and lively rhymes that will have you and your baby smiling. After the stories, we’ll enjoy some playtime with toys and a chance to socialize with other little ones. It’s a wonderful opportunity to bond, learn, and make new friends in a warm, friendly atmosphere!

Join us for Yoga every Friday from 9:30 to 10:30, led by Bayley Thompson, a certified RYT-500 yoga instructor. This session features a traditional yoga flow that is slow and gentle. The Subtle Yoga style emphasizes wellness, resilience, and the regulation of the nervous system.

Everyone is welcome to participate, though the ability to get down to and up from the floor is required.

Get ready for a sweet celebration like no other! 
Join us at the Library for a day packed with Halloween fun the whole family will love. Kids can bounce, climb, and slide through giant inflatables and try their hand at a variety of festive games. And of course, it wouldn’t be a Halloween party without plenty of candy—treats will be waiting around every corner!
Come in costume, bring your friends, and get ready for an afternoon full of laughter, thrills, and memory-making. Whether you’re here for the games, the candy, or just the Halloween spirit, Candy Corn Fest is the place to be.
We can’t wait to celebrate with you!

The Brown Bag Book Club welcomes book enthusiasts to join us on the fourth Monday of every month for animated and thought-provoking discussions. We cover a wide range of popular books in various genres, providing a vibrant and inclusive space for literary exploration and lively debate.

Be prepared to buy the selected works or borrow them from the Library, as supplies are limited and given out at the meetings.

Kill for Me, Kill for You by Steve Cavanagh 

One dark evening on New York City’s Upper West Side, two strangers meet by chance. Over drinks, Amanda and Wendy realize they have much in common, especially loneliness and an intense desire for revenge against the men who destroyed their families. As they talk into the night, they come up with the perfect plan: if you kill for me, I’ll kill for you.

In another part of the city, Ruth is home alone when the beautiful brownstone she shares with her husband, Scott, is invaded. She’s attacked by a man with piercing blue eyes, who disappears into the night. Will she ever be able to feel safe again while the blue-eyed stranger is out there?

We’d love for you to join us for a super fun and cozy 20-minute Storytime adventure! Our sessions are perfect for kids ages 3 to 5 and will include two delightful stories, some interactive songs, fun movement activities, and a cute craft to take home! To keep things comfy and cozy, we limit each Storytime to just 16 children. We encourage parents to let their little ones attend on their own, as this helps build important school readiness skills and encourages independence. Mrs. Megan and Mrs. Elaine can’t wait to share stories and songs with your kids while helping them develop a lifelong love for reading. We’re so excited to see you there!
