ADULT SERVICES

 

Regular Summer Hours, Children’s Room Open

We’re now on our usual summer schedule: Monday-Thursday 9 a.m.-9 p.m., Friday 9 a.m.-6 p.m., Saturday 10 a.m.-1 p.m.  Upstairs, downstairs, all around (except for the meeting room).  We ask that you mask for everyone’s well-being, and try to limit your visit to 45 minutes.  Masks are required for children 2-12.  Come on in—it’ll be good to see you.

 

Curbside Simplified

Now that we’re fully open (see above), demand for curbside pickup of holds has somewhat slackened.  Therefore, we’ve reduced the number of pickup time slots to a mere two: 10 a.m.-2 p.m. and 2 p.m.-9 p.m., Monday-Thursday.  On Friday, it’s 10-2 and 2-6, Saturday 11-1.

 

Adult Craft: Felt Llama

Learn how to needle felt wool with Pop Up Art School.  Create a whimsical llama (with or without its spectacles) on a piece of felt stretched on an embroidery hoop.  We’ll guide you through the process step by step; you’ll find that needle felting is easy and relaxing.  Sign up for the Zoom link through our Events menu starting August 1, and select a curbside kit pickup time. Limit 15 people.  Ages 16+.  Monday, August 9 at 7 p.m.
