History

The River John Janice Murray Gill Memorial Library has activities, events, and programs running all year round, and they’re completely free. You’ll want to register online since sessions can fill up fast. The library offers weekly drop-in children’s playtime, after-school games and crafts on Thursdays, conversation clubs for languages like French and Spanish, knitting circles, board game nights, and many more.

It’s not all just for kids! One of my favorites is “The Banned Books” book discussion club. There is always something on the schedule, so everyone can find something that interests them.
