Midday Meetup Book Club
Prefer to talk books over lunch? Our midday book club is Thursday, September 10 from 11:30 AM–12:30 PM in the Community Room to discuss Daniel James Brown’s The Boys in the Boat. A great option if evenings don’t work with your schedule.
Dungeons & Dragons
Calling all adventurers! Dive into a world of imagination, strategy, and camaraderie with our Dungeons & Dragons program for adults. Whether you’re a seasoned Dungeon Master or a curious first-timer, come battle fearsome foes and shape your own story in the world’s greatest tabletop role-playing game. New players get pre-made characters and guidance to get started. Sessions meet the 1st and 3rd Tuesdays of the month, September 15 and September 29, from 5:30–7:30 PM, in the Community Room.
Creative Writing Club
Calling all wordsmiths ages 18+! Share your work in progress with fellow storytelling enthusiasts, or just come to talk about why writing matters to you. Come Tuesday, September 16 and Tuesday, September 30 at 6:00 PM in the Community Room, with future sessions in October.
Puzzle People
Grab a seat at the table and help piece together a puzzle while chatting with fellow puzzlers. This laid-back, drop-in style program meets Thursday, September 17 from 11:30 AM–12:30 PM in the Community Room, with additional dates in October and November.
Talk, Play, Grow:
How Everyday Conversations Build a Child’s Future
For parents and children ages 0–4. Learn how everyday talk and play prepare young children for reading, school, and life, presented by Dr. David Allen from Brigham Young University–Idaho. Sponsored by Idaho AEYC and Madison ELAC. Parents will meet with Dr. Allen for 30 minutes while children enjoy activities in the Community Room, then families reunite to apply what they’ve learned together. The class is free, but space is limited — online sign-up is required. Thursday, September 17, 6:30–7:30 PM in the Community Room.
Batik!
Learn the art of batik as you dye, wax, and re-dye a scarf into a design that’s uniquely yours. This free hands-on course builds week to week, so plan to attend all three sessions in the Community Room starting September 17 at 2 PM. Future dates are October 15 and November 19. Please register below!
