Looking for someone to play games with? Join us on the first Thursday of each month for a relaxed evening of board games, card games, chess, mah jongg, and more in a relaxed atmosphere. Play one of the library’s games, bring a favorite from home, or learn something new from other participants.

All experience levels are welcome. Minors must attend with an adult. Registration is encouraged so we know how many to expect. Walk-ins are welcome.

Ready to take the next step with your finances? This beginner-friendly program will cover the basics of saving and investing. Learn about high-yield savings accounts, CDs, retirement accounts, and stock market investing.
