On September 20, come to Vermont Energy Education Program’s workshop, Home Energy Use Options. This hands-on workshop explores options for reducing energy bills and the carbon footprint at home. With this one workshop, you can get excellent tips on conserving energy, saving money, making your home more comfortable, and increasing climate resilience. Free, but we do need your RSVP (there’s still time!!), to ensure we have enough materials for all. That’s Saturday, 9/20, at 10 AM.
Magic: The Gathering, is now happening right here in the library! Join experienced players for a great game, or learn how to play. Don’t have a deck? Not a problem–we’ve got decks you can use. If you like wizards and dragons and such, this is the place and time to geek out on all of that. Tuesdays in September: the 2nd, 9th, 16th, 23rd, and 30th from 4-8; drop in when you can, cast a spell, stay as long as you like. The group will continue to meet if interest is there! All ages!
Hilde and the Purls of Wisdom are here at RPL to tell you that knitting–and anything else you do for yourself–are very much for everyone! If you like to live on your own terms, come join our welcoming, supportive, and very fun group of crafters. We meet every Tuesday at 1:30 in the library’s main room.
Our annual craft supply swap is coming up in October. Bring your unwanted, unused, but in good fettle craft supplies to the library anytime we’re open (don’t leave ‘em on the porch, please!). Please, no books of any kind, and if you bring a kit, make sure it’s complete! We’ll get everything sorted and set up and throw open the doors in October. Whoopee!
If you are looking to get down, yes, the library can hook you up! Line Dancing happens on the 1st and 3rd Thursday of each month, at 5 pm. We’ve got the big screen loaded and ready to roll with some how-to videos. Videos without instruction are available as well, for you pros out there. September 18th.
For the kiddos this week, there are many cool tools, toys, and books to explore in the children’s room. All-ages StoryTime is every Thursday at 3:30, and Stories in the Park rolls on during the fabulous Farmers’ Market. So many chances to play and learn!
Our snack shelves are looking a little bare, so if you can donate food or dollars, it will be greatly appreciated. I guarantee you that not a crumb will go to waste!
If you are feeling the need for a day trip, Rochester Library offers to its patrons Vermont State Park and Historic Site passes, as well as passes to plenty of other fun and interesting spots around the state: ECHO, American Precision Museum, The Fairbanks Museum & Planetarium, Shelburne Museum, and more! Stop in to learn more.
Thank you so much for your support of the library! What a lovely community we have here. Join us, if you haven’t yet! There is always room for more.
