Adult Programs

The only thing better than reading a good book is reading a good book and then talking about it with fellow book lovers.

Every month we read a preselected book and then meet to discuss it. The Adult Services Librarian guides the discussion, but attendees are encouraged to bring up their own desired topics for the group to talk about, and we like to keep it loose and let the conversation flow naturally.

The book club reads primarily fiction titles, but we change things up with a non-fiction title from time to time.

Coffee Break:
When: First Wednesday of the month at 11am
How: In person & virtual

When: First Thursday of the month at 6:30pm

Come join us as we break out our collection of board games, playing cards, and dominoes and let you and your family have at them. Our giant versions of Connect 4, Jenga, checkers, and Kerplunk offer big gaming fun you won’t find hardly anywhere else.  Game Night is a potluck affair, so attendees are encouraged (though not required) to bring food to share so that everyone can snack while they play. The library provides soda, juice, and water for all. The games are set out for you to browse, and you’re welcome to play whichever one(s) you’d like, either with your friends and family or with other game lovers from the community. Occasionally, we’ll have a themed Game Night. Such nights will be noted on the schedule.

Join Cara Kuhl either in person at the library or virtually on Zoom for an experiential live mindfulness session.

Mindfulness helps bring more awareness to the processes of our mind so that our bodies can be more present in the world. Join us each month to reflect and pause together in mindful ways. We will discover together how to experience life more fully, bring calm into our life situations, and move forward with purpose and focus.

Practicing mindfulness with a group helps to expand and accelerate your own growth and awareness. During each session, we will meditate together, journal together, and share together. By listening intently to others and sharing deeply from your own hearts, we can establish a lasting mindfulness routine together.

When: Every 2nd Tuesday of each month

The library’s Writing Critique Group offers writers the opportunity to share their work with their peers and receive feedback in a constructive setting. Attendees read aloud from their writing projects and receive notes, praise, and constructive criticism from their fellow writers. It’s our hope that the group will prove helpful to experienced and aspiring authors alike. Anyone 18 or older may join the group. Writers of all genres and experience levels are welcome, though we do ask that all content presented be kept between “PG-13” and “R” levels of propriety.

When: Third Tuesday of the month at 6:30pm

Yoga classes at the library are taught by a professional instructor from the Benbrook YMCA. The 45-minute classes are free and are a great way to improve oneself both physically and mentally.

All skill levels, from beginners to advanced yogis, are welcome.
