We are honored to be the home of this beloved community event. For more than 30 years, we’ve promoted a message of sustainability – that too much food is wasted and should instead be channeled to people at risk of hunger. In many ways, the same is true of used books. We can’t afford to be a throwaway society – not with food, not with books and certainly not with people.

For the past five years, Youth Services Bureau of Monroe County and Building a Thriving Compassionate Community have engaged community members annually for the Monroe County Childhood Conditions Summit. They will revisit their original theme of “what surrounds us shapes us” and focus on moving from ideas to action. This theme is grounded in the understanding that children are shaped by the relationships they have, the neighborhoods they live in, the places they learn and play, and the community organizations that serve them. In order to continue building thriving compassionate communities, there must be a focus from individual youth and families to the conditions that frame our lives. This organization believes that every child is our child, therefore, the community must share a collective interest in children’s futures. Attend this event for practical tools and strategies that will build positive childhood conditions in Monroe County.
21+ Must have proof of vaccination.
Host band plays 7 pm – 8 pm
Jam guests play 8 pm – 10 pm

Monthly book club discussing a variety of fiction, nonfiction, biography and mystery books. Meetings are held in Meeting Room B and all are welcome! For 5 years the library’s book club A Novel Bunch has met once a month to discuss a variety of fiction, nonfiction, biography and mystery books! What I’ve described is certainly typical of any other book club, but typical we are not! Over the years the conversations we’ve had of our individual and unique experiences, resonated with sincerity and honesty! No matter what the book is about, it always led to an in-depth discussion of the characters, setting, plot and the effect it had on us. Whether you have a lot to say, or a little, you can be sure you’ll be heard! The end result is a group of women who are committed to the book club and committed to each other!
